About Joanna

Projects don’t get stuck because people are bad at their job.
They get stuck because things become unclear.

Too many people.
No clear ownership.
Work slows down.

That’s where I come in.

I bring structure back:

who decides what
what needs to happen next
how teams actually move forward

I work on projects that should be moving — but aren’t.

Typically:

too many stakeholders
things going in circles
decisions not happening

Experience across luxury, MedTech and consulting environments, with multiple teams and partners.

What changes:
→ clarity
→ alignment
→ momentum

No heavy processes.
Just work that moves.

Experience

  • Longines - SwatchGroup
    Project Lead – Process Transformation
    LUXURY GOODS
    September 2013 - May 2015 (1 year and 8 months)
    Global production of retail displays for POS across multiple markets.

    The process had become slow.
    Too many approvals, no clear ownership — things kept getting stuck.

    I mapped the workflow, removed bottlenecks and clarified who decides what.

    8 months → 8 weeks
    less friction
    work moving again
    Project Structuring Cross-functional Coordination Process Improvement Digital Transformation Resource Allocation and Management
  • Bien-Air Surgery
    Project Lead – Digital & Cross-functional Delivery
    MEDICAL
    September 2018 - September 2019 (1 year)
    Bienne, Switzerland
    Redesign of a multilingual corporate website in a MedTech environment.

    The project had stalled — too many stakeholders, unclear alignment, no real progress.

    I brought it back into motion:

    -> aligned teams and partners
    -> clarified roles and validation flow
    -> coordinated delivery

    Result:

    -> delivered one month ahead of schedule
    -> unblocked a long-stuck initiative
    -> platform now used to present products and solutions
    Stakeholder Management Cross-functional Coordination Project Structuring Change and Transformation Management Project Management
  • Autodesk
    Project Lead – Portfolio Governance & Financial Structuring
    TECH
    October 2007 - December 2011 (4 years and 2 months)
    Neuchâtel, Switzerland
    Governance and financial tracking of an EMEA consulting project portfolio.

    Multiple projects, inconsistent setups, limited visibility.

    I standardised how projects are set up and tracked in SAP, aligned delivery with financial reporting, and supported project managers with clear guidelines.

    -> oversight across 100+ projects (up to €1.5M)
    -> more reliable reporting
    -> fewer setup errors
