Summary

Users become fans of digital products

I'm passionate about building digital business models in the platform economy, driving digital transformation, and automating business processes.

How do I develop a digital business model? How do I succeed at digital transformation? How do I engage the right people?

  • I see it as my duty to tackle the tasks given to me with ambition and support you in reaching your strategic goals.
  • The more complex a task, the more I want to see it succeed.
  • I work with the best of my knowledge and highest commitment, as if I were the business owner.
  • I plan my approach systematically and strategically, taking different factors and scenarios into account.
  • I see gathering information inside and outside the organization as my responsibility, so I reach out to all key contacts and don't stop until I have the data I need.
  • I adapt my way of working with different personalities to each situation, while always keeping the goal in mind.
  • My communication ranges from analytical and efficient to an empathetic chat by the coffee machine.
  • I adjust as needed, working well both in a team and on my own.
  • I make decisions based on data, without emotion or ego, and stay focused on the facts.
  • Even in tough times, I take responsibility, solve conflicts, and carry out unpopular measures when needed.
  • I'm used to stepping out of my comfort zone and going the extra mile.
