Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I step in where processes don't work and bring clarity to operational structures that have grown without ever being truly planned.

My work is not external consulting. I understand the reality on the ground, leverage the experience of the people who work with it daily, and implement concrete improvements that continue to function after my involvement.

What I bring: Experience from logistics, production, and project management in medium-sized companies, combined with genuine tool depth and a pragmatic view of digitalization. I have salvaged failed digitalization projects, relocated sites without paralyzing operations for weeks, and built structures where none existed before.

Typical areas of application: Process analysis and optimization, introduction of digital tools and systems, operational project management, development of standards and documentation, interface management between departments.

I work remotely and on-site, preferably with medium-sized companies between 20 and 500 employees.
