About Axel

I am a graduate physicist with over 30 years of professional experience in the IT industry, specializing in telecommunications and business software (OSS, BSS) as well as SAP projects. Since 1995, I have been successfully managing projects in large-scale projects and multi-project management – from tender to customer acceptance.

As an ISTQB Test Manager (Advanced Level), I have gained over 8 years of experience in quality assurance, risk, and defect management. In over 10 years as a Product Owner and Requirements Manager, I have been able to model, optimize, and migrate processes (BPMN, UML).

For several years, my focus has been on SAP S/4HANA. At Vodafone, I managed projects whose results are now available as standard modules in SAP. Additionally, I have current certifications in SAP HANA, Fiori, Analytics Cloud, and Planning. I combine deep technical know-how with business understanding and user experience expertise.

I bring international experience through numerous offshore projects with partners from India, the Far East, and Europe. I am accustomed to managing complex stakeholder structures and successfully leading projects with interdisciplinary teams to completion.

In addition to classic project management, I rely on modern methods such as Scrum and DevOps, as well as innovative technologies like Big Data, AI/AI, and process automation. Through my combination of analytical skills, methodological competence, and practical implementation, I offer added value in demanding SAP transformation projects.
