About

As Head of Operations Austria ("Local COO") at Allianz Technology, I lead the transformation and harmonization of branch operations, ensuring seamless adoption of global standards, processes and tools. My mission is to create operational excellence through governance, efficiency and innovation. I bring 5+ years of senior management experience across various governance and technical-based fields, where I especially demonstrated exceptional change leadership in complex, highly regulated environments. I believe great leadership starts with great teams. I cultivate clarity, trust, and accountability, empowering people to collaborate across functions and achieve more together. Technology at heart, Entrepreneur by choice - I focus on opportunities that create measurable value. What can I do today to shape a better world of tomorrow? And since you have read all the way down from the hard facts ... Guess what? I am human, too! And always in for a great conversation. I'd love to connect with you! Thanks for your interest.
