About Anja

Senior Project Manager with over 15 years of experience in project management and lean management in complex corporate and transformation environments.

I support companies in **stabilizing ongoing projects**, **relieving PMOs**, and during handover and high-load phases. My focus is on areas where projects lose controllability due to high complexity, time pressure, or limited capacity.

My working method combines classic project management with **lean-based structuring approaches**: clear roles, realistic prioritization, transparent control, and pragmatic reporting structures. The goal is to make projects manageable again and enable reliable decisions.

Experience inregulated environmentssuch as rail/transport, pharma/GMP, aviation, and energy.

Engagement model: part-time,8-12 hours per week, remote.
Hourly rate: €100/h.
