Description

Senior IT Project Manager with **over 20 years of experience in web and digital projects**. Certified as Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Agile Leader.

I bring the rare combination of a technical background and a business degree. I recognize patterns in project dynamics early, before they develop into real problems. And I shy away from neither responsibility nor uncomfortable truths.

Are you looking for someone who doesn't just manage projects, but truly leads them? From requirements gathering to go-live, even when things get turbulent along the way? That's exactly my job.

I take on projects from the start or step in when structure and clarity are needed: as an IT Project Manager, Product Owner, or Scrum Master – remotely or hybrid in the Karlsruhe region.

What makes me special:

My Focus Areas:

IT Project Management
Requirements Management
Requirements Engineering
Stakeholder Management
Scrum Master
Product Owner
Agile Leadership
Process Optimization
Multi-vendor Management
Interim Project Management

Typical Project Types:

Web and E-commerce Platforms
Software Implementations & System Migrations
Digital Transformations
Agency and SaaS Environments
FinTech
Real Estate
Regulated Environments

I work agile, classic, or hybrid. Depending on what the project needs. Pragmatic, not dogmatic.
