Manuel Köbele

I support companies as a freelance Technical IT Project Manager / IT Project Lead with infrastructure rollouts, migrations, production IT, and security-related transformation projects.

My profile combines classic and hybrid project management with technical substance: network, telephony, servers, production environments, security assessments, penetration testing, and AI transformation management. Mandates are particularly suitable in enterprise environments where technical depth, stakeholder and supplier management, and reliable implementation are crucial.

Typical mandates:

IT infrastructure rollouts and site buildouts

Network, VoIP, and telephony migrations

Production IT, MES-related implementations, and live operating environments

Supplier, stakeholder, and implementation management

Security-aware transformation in regulated or technical environments

AI transformation management and competence building as a complementary skill

Selected project evidence:

CHF 1 million IT buildout of a new production site with 9 racks, 552 network connections, and MES integration

CHF 2.4M+ implemented project volume, 5 major projects, 55+ smaller projects, and 9 locations

Telephony migration across 4 locations and 1,100 devices with a CHF 550,000 budget

Modernization of access control and time recording systems across 7 production sites

Security assessments and penetration testing for finance, insurance, healthcare, authorities, and industry
