Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I am a Business IT Strategist with over 20 years of experience in implementing digital business models, technology-based innovations, and scalable processes.

In my role as a long-standing managing director of a consulting firm with over 50 employees, I was responsible for numerous complex projects in corporations and medium-sized businesses – from strategy development and business case creation to operational implementation.

My specialty lies in combining business logic, IT understanding, and people management: I speak with both the CEO and the development team at eye level – and ensure that everyone is working towards the same goal.

As a certified Scrum Master & Product Owner, systemic coach, and experienced project manager, I combine structure with pragmatism. I support projects in roles such as interim manager, project manager, product owner, or sparring partner – in-house, remote, or hybrid.

Typical topics: digital business models, go-to-market, spin-offs, LegalTech, scaling, efficiency improvement, requirements management, agile product development.

My goal: To structure things in a way that makes them implementable – without coordination marathons or translation problems between departments and IT.

Managing Director & operational project manager of an established consulting firm with over 50 employees, specializing in advising corporations and larger medium-sized companies in the DACH region.

In this role, I was not only responsible for the strategic leadership and further development of the company, but also, as a client and project manager, I operationally supported numerous major clients and managed projects directly on-site.

Our clients came from various industries, including banking, insurance, petroleum, fashion, and rail. The focus was on CRM-driven transformation projects, where I was responsible for the "make-it-happen" aspect: from the development of robust business cases, the conception and optimization of business processes, to digitalization and the management of internal and external IT service providers.

The projects were characterized by long-term customer relationships, often lasting several years (between 2 and 5 years). I led teams of various sizes, from small specialist teams (1 to 8 employees from my company) to larger client teams (5 to 15 employees).

My core tasks included operational project management, agile collaboration with various stakeholders, ensuring goal achievement, and requirements management between departments and IT. Through my combination of strategic foresight and pragmatic implementation competence, I was able to ensure sustainable value creation for our clients and successfully overcome typical challenges such as communication breakdowns and fragmentation between business and IT.
