Summary

As a computer science graduate, I can shape things and make decisions in the areas of software and digitalization. In my career, I have gained experience in product development and product management in software and hardware, plant management, sales, and executive leadership. Restructuring and transformations have been part of every position I've held. Especially because I myself have worked as a CEO in the past, my consulting is based on knowing which information is relevant for decision-makers. From an overview dashboard to quickly see if everything is on track to deeper risk analyses, project progress documentation, and escalation strategies, my competence portfolio fully covers them. My communication strengths will benefit every project. I can communicate with software service providers on equal footing, move confidently at the CEO level, and I succeed in finding solutions even in tense situations.
