Summary

Users become fans of digital products

I am passionate about building digital business models within the platform economy and digital transformation, as well as automating business processes.

What questions can I answer

How do I develop a digital business model? How can digital transformation succeed? How do I engage the right people for it?

Why is it a very good decision to hire me?

  • I see it as my duty to tackle assigned tasks with ambition and support you in achieving your strategic goals.
  • The higher the complexity of the task, the stronger my desire to solve it successfully.
  • I act with the best of my knowledge and the utmost commitment, as if I were the owner of the company myself.
  • I approach tasks systematically and strategically, taking various factors into account and weighing different scenarios.
  • I consider gathering information inside and outside the organization as my responsibility, so I reach out to all relevant contacts without fuss and don’t stop until I get the data I need to complete my task.
  • My way of working with different personalities is flexible to the situation, while consistently staying focused on the goal.
  • My communication style ranges from preferred analytical and efficient communication to an empathetic chat at the coffee machine.
  • I work as needed both in a team and solo mode.
  • I make decisions based on data, without emotion or ego, focusing on the matter at hand.
  • Even in tough times, I take responsibility, resolve conflicts and, after weighing options, carry out unpopular measures.
  • I am used to moving outside my comfort zone and going the extra mile.
