Berlin, Berlin, Germany
I lead programs, transformation, and planning in complex international environments, connecting strategy, performance, and people to deliver measurable business impact. Currently a Projects & Development Planning Director at Alstom, I drive planning, performance alignment, and execution across critical programs. Previously, I led a major global, cross-functional transformation program delivered ahead of schedule, achieving indirect spend reductions in the high hundred-million euro range across all categories, mobilizing organizations at scale and driving time-critical, high-impact outcomes. Beyond my core roles, I contribute to leadership and inclusion as Global Lead of Alstom Women of Excellence and through several internal and external initiatives focused on diversity, talent, and organizational development. My career has been built at the intersection of business strategy and people. I combine governance, data-driven decision-making, and leadership to deliver sustainable transformation, spanning turnaround, post-merger integration, operational performance, and organizational change. I thrive in high-complexity environments where alignment, speed, and disciplined execution make the difference.
