Summary

The next level of digital transformation, for a clear competitive edge.

“Efficiency improvement is more than just optimization – it's the heart of any successful digital transformation. With AI and automation, new opportunities open up to actively shape your company's future.”

As a Manager on Demand and expert in digital transformation, IT service management, and information security, I support medium-sized companies in boosting the efficiency and effectiveness of their business processes while keeping pace with the ever-accelerating changes in digitization and AI.

I place special emphasis on information security and its management structures within the company.

My approach is results-oriented, analytical, and methodical, and I believe that entrepreneurial thinking and action on one hand, and leadership with strong social skills on the other, are not contradictions but the key factors for sustainable success.
