Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Sebastian
I manage IT and transformation projects for companies that need clear guidance between business and technology. Classic, agile, or hybrid, depending on what the project requires.
Focus areas include project management and IT project management, change management and transformation support, as well as process optimization. I use AI and automation where they provide measurable benefits, not as an end in themselves.
Typical mandates: system implementations and platform changes, requirements and interface work between product owners and development, reorganization and integration projects. Over ten years of experience, most recently as Global Product Owner with rollouts across 20+ markets and budgets up to EUR 600,000.
