About Benjamin

I am a Senior Project Manager and Project Portfolio Manager with over 11 years of experience in leading strategic, organizational, and IT-related projects, and a total of 17 years of professional experience in the insurance and pension industry. My focus is on the successful planning, control, and implementation of complex transformation, digitalization, and process optimization initiatives.

In my previous roles, I was responsible for, among other things, the establishment and embedding of company-wide project management, the control of project portfolios, and the leadership of strategic programs in close cooperation with executive management. I bring extensive experience in classic and agile project management methods, process management, business analysis, stakeholder management, as well as change and transformation projects.

Through my industry focus, I possess in-depth expertise in the areas of insurance, pensions, BVG (Occupational Pensions Act), VVG (Insurance Contract Act), and digitalization in a regulated environment. This is complemented by the CAS (Certificate of Advanced Studies) in Entrepreneurial Management of Pension Funds, the federally recognized diploma as an Insurance Economist HF, and various project management and specialist certifications.
I support companies as an interim project manager, PMO, project portfolio manager, or consultant in structuring, prioritizing, and successfully implementing demanding projects.
