About Max

I support companies and agencies in implementing complex event and marketing projects in a structured, efficient, and timely manner.

When internal capacities are lacking or projects stall, I take over the management, create clear structures, and provide sustainable relief for teams.

As a Senior Project Manager, I bring experience from demanding B2B and healthcare projects – especially in environments with many stakeholders and high quality requirements.
