Summary

My goal is to make the customer happy. My working motto: A plan is nothing – planning is all.

Which is why I empower the team to have fun and success. Doing is better than perfect.

Because people are not resources, they are humans. Make it easy.

I am an experienced project management professional with over 20 years of experience in various industries and roles. In my assignments, I have consistently demonstrated the ability to successfully lead complex initiatives from conception to completion, as well as to effectively guide individuals and teams in the implementation of new digital solutions and organisational change.

Known for exceptional stakeholder management, turning around struggling projects, and talent for building high-performing teams. Embracing a people-centered approach to leadership that emphasizes that while technology enables innovation, the human element is critical to success.

Combining technical expertise with strategic insight allows for a rapid and effective understanding of customer-specific challenges, leading to optimal solution strategies (organization and Way of Work).

Around 15 years of voluntary experience with PMI Switzerland honed skills in leading and developing teams and individuals.
