Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

Digitalization is not a technology problem – it is an organizational and implementation problem.

I help small and medium-sized enterprises overcome this difference: with clear AI strategies, lean processes, and the change management that ensures new ways of working are truly adopted.

What I bring:

– 10+ years of digital product responsibility in a corporate environment (Volkswagen AG)

– Leadership of up to 13 Product Owners in cross-functional B2B teams

– Development and scaling of digital B2B product portfolios (Fleet Management)

– Introduction of agile methods and AI-supported process automation

– Systemic-integrative coaching training for sustainable change processes

What this means for you:

You won't get theoretical concepts, but practice-proven methodology – translated into solutions that work for your company size. Without corporate overhead, but with corporate experience.

Typical Projects:

AI Readiness Analysis · Process Digitalization · Automation (n8n, Make) · Development of Agile Structures · Digital Product Strategy · Transformation Support

Daily rate: €1,200–€1,500 · Remote & On-site · DACH
