Back to original languageAbout Matthias
Good day!
I am pleased that you are interested in my profile.
I have more than 20 years of experience as a project manager and several years as a Scrum Master and Product Owner. As a PMI certified PMP, Certified SAFe 6 Agilist, Certified Scrum Master (PSM II) and Product Owner (CSPO), I have mastered both traditional waterfall and agile project management methods.
I practice open and goal-oriented communication with a strong focus on results and a high sense of responsibility. I am able to overcome challenges on both the IT and business sides as well as on the supplier side, which in the past has enabled me to get even distressed projects back on track.
Through my many years of projects at home and abroad, I have gained relevant experience, which is now beneficial to me in my collaboration with multicultural, international teams.
Malta has been my home for 10 years. During this time, I have been working successfully both 100% remotely or, if necessary, hybrid for workshops and 1:1 meetings on-site with my clients.
I look forward to the opportunity to discuss with you how my many years of project experience align with the needs of your project requirements.
