Summary
As a computer scientist by training, I am able to shape and make decisions in areas related to software and digitization. I have gained experience in product development and product management for software and hardware, plant management, sales, and executive leadership. Restructuring and transformation have been part of every role I held. In particular, since I have served as a CEO in the past, my consulting is based on knowing which information is relevant for decision-makers. An overview in a dashboard to quickly see if everything is on track, in-depth risk analyses, documentation of project progress, and escalation strategies are all fully part of my skill set. My communication strengths will benefit any project. I can communicate with software service providers on equal footing, operate confidently at the CEO level, and find solutions even in tense situations.
