About Carolin

I'll give your project more speed.
Because I am a Go-Getter - a doer. With strategic foresight and high implementation speed, I want to achieve goals successfully for you.

My professional life is defined by my love for structuring and managing tasks to the desired outcome, which is why I now work as a freelance project manager in the fields of marketing, product management, and business development. In over 20 years, I have supported a colorful potpourri of diverse projects in various roles - from the development of new products and communication, to leading a business unit, to the liquidation of a marketing and sales company. This practical professional experience and my education in business administration, marketing, and project management make me anexpert with a very broad spectrum of knowledge.

My clients therefore not only value my quick grasp and ability to lead projects to success with the best result quality and within the desired timeframe. They also know that I am capable of preparing decision proposals in a targeted manner, actively closing gaps in the team, and simply doing unpleasant tasks myself.

My hands-on mentality can be attributed to my belief that concepts are only as good as they are implemented in reality.

Commitment, trust, and reliability are important values of my work. If you commission me, you can be sure that the task we have agreed upon will be completed. Within the agreed parameters, I work independently, although you can trust that I will contact you if something goes in the wrong direction.

You can find references from my clients on my homepage gogetting.de and on my LinkedIn profile.I am also happy to provide a personal contact person who can provide information about me.
