I don't sell off-the-shelf standard routines and don't solve problems that don't exist. I focus more on implementation than on consulting, to deliver clear analyses and lean solutions. What the "big players" can do, I can do too, just leaner, faster, and without unnecessary overhead. I bring many years of in-house experience and work pragmatically and results-oriented. I'll spare your budget and won't sell you a Mercedes when a Golf will suffice. Save money, time, and nerves, and invest your resources in your core business instead. - Charité - Universitätsmedizin BerlinCompliance OfficerPUBLIC SECTORJuly 2025 - Today (1 year and 1 month)Berlin, Germany
