About Johann

As a project manager with over 14 years of broad experience in digitalization, CX/CRM, and data projects, I support companies in implementing demanding initiatives – on a technological, conceptual, and strategic level.

It is important to me to quickly establish a common working basis and to iteratively develop solutions in close exchange with all stakeholders.

I enjoy working with diverse stakeholders, considering different perspectives, and pragmatically, bindingly, and with a focus on progress, guiding them in a clear, actionable direction.

I combine analytical strength with pragmatic implementation and work goal-oriented towards measurable results with the
claim to create solutions that work in everyday life and are supported by everyone.
