Summary
I support companies as a technical project and transformation expert when projects become critical or need a new direction. With over 25 years of experience in software development, SAP S/4HANA rollouts, process digitization, and AI piloting, I combine technical depth with methodical leadership skills. I work where traditional project managers or Scrum Masters reach their limits: in complex environments, with many stakeholders, unclear architecture, or missing prioritization. My focus is on getting projects back to deliverable status – through clear structure, reliable planning, transparent communication, and technical decision-making strength.
