Summary

The next level of digital transformation for a clear edge in the competition.

"Efficiency improvement is more than just optimization – it is the heart of every successful digital transformation. With AI and automation, new possibilities open up to actively shape the future of your company."

As a Manager on Demand and expert in digital transformation, IT service management, and information security, I help medium-sized companies increase the efficiency and effectiveness of their business processes and keep pace with the rapidly changing world of digitalization and AI.

I pay special attention to information security and its management structures within the company.

My way of working is result-oriented, analytical, and methodical, and for me, entrepreneurial thinking and acting on one hand and leadership with high social skills on the other are not contradictions but the crucial factors for sustainable success.
