Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

Hello! / Good morning,

I am an Agile Leader and IT Program Manager with 30 years of international experience in the technology sector and over 20 years dedicated to Scrum, Kanban, and scaled agile frameworks (SAFe RTE / POPM).

What sets me apart in the Barcelona market is my unique combination of high seniority in multinational corporations and my multilingual profile: I speak and write fluently in German, Spanish, and Catalan (native), English, and Italian. This allows me to integrate immediately into international hubs while collaborating frictionlessly with local teams and stakeholders in Catalonia.

I have a solid business structure in Germany that allows me to invoice directly and internationally (B2B with intra-community VAT) and I am fully available for a hybrid model (presence in Barcelona for key milestones like PI Planning, combined with remote work).

CORE VALUE I BRING TO YOUR PROJECTS (English Summary):

- Enterprise Agile Scaling: Over 20 years of experience launching Release Trains (RTE) and driving agile governance models in highly regulated environments (Volkswagen, Deutsche Bank, Uniper, UniCredit).

- Large-Scale Project Delivery: Proven track record managing distributed global teams of up to 60+ people and steering budgets up to $60M USD.

- Solid Infrastructure Background: Deep technical roots in cloud migrations (Vodafone, 3M+ users), cybersecurity compliance (NIST, ISO 27001), AI, telecom networks, and financial systems.

- Academic Excellence: Master of Arts (Magister Artium) from the University of Cologne, Germany.

Shall we talk? I would be delighted to discuss how I can bring strategic value and accelerate the agile transformation of your organization in Catalonia.
