About

I have 15+ years’ experience managing interdisciplinary teams in developing digital solutions for Marketing-, Business- and IT-driven projects. I have been working with teams from different industries on a local, European and global level in Germany as well as abroad. On projects, I am usually taking a role as Consultant or Project Lead. Developing or optimising a digital business case drives me; but most importantly I want to solve the problem at hand. A clear vision, well-organised processes and clever usage of technology are my key factors to success. In my current role, I have a focus on building strong, self-organised teams by establishing trustful relationships and encouraging individual development. I am striving for a role as People Lead / Manager.
