Companies undergoing transformation never fail for lack of technology. They fail, because no one is connecting IT, strategy and people. As a CIO or Board Advisor, that is my place. I am a globally operating CIO with over 25 years of experience in business transformation, IT reorganization, and digital leadership across manufacturing, distribution, and logistic services. I help organizations unlock digital potential, drive growth through customer centricity, and strengthen governance around technology and security. My roles have ensured that IT consistently delivers measurable business value. I apply a holistic leadership approach, combining strategic technology vision with cultural transformation and people engagement. What I bring: - 3x Group CIOI or acting interim CIO in international organizations - SAP S/4HANA or ECC template build and rollouts: annual cost savings of 5% of revenue - Global IT Team Development: Building high-performing IT and cross-functional teams during transition - Organizational Change: Optimizing operating models, governance, and business–IT alignment - Transformation & Growth programs: Enabling customer-centric, data-driven, and scalable portfolios - Enterprise Platforms & AI: SAP S/4HANA, Salesforce, ServiceNow, MS Azure, Google Cloud and AWS. - Strategy & Delivery: Board-level capability to shape and execute digital transformation. Who I work with: As a Board Member, Supervisory Board Member or strategic advisor I support growing companies in building scalable IT structures, digital foundations and efficient processes. As a fractional, interim or permanent CIO I take on immediate operational C-level responsiblity during transformation, programmes or M&A transactions. Employed or self-employed, your choice. Having lived and worked in Germany and the United States, I bring deep international experience from Europe, Turkey, Russia, India, and China – successfully navigating diverse cultural and business environments. My stance: CLARITY ON DEMAND. IMPACT BY DESIGN.
I am available temporary, permanent or fractional (precisely-time).
