About Wolfgang

Clarity in 72h: AI-based Project Audits for CTOs, CFOs & CISOs. I validate complex IT baselines and secure your transformation.

I support organizations in steering, stabilizing, and implementing complex IT and transformation programs – especially inregulated and organization-critical environments.

My Focus: The 72-Hour Analysis.
I am typically brought in when transparency, controllability, or decision-making ability is lacking. Using **AI-powered audits**, I deliver an unvarnished fact-finding of project baselines (Single Source of Truth) within 72 hours, making risks in complex programs immediately isolatable and manageable.

What sets me apart:

Crisis-Proven & Senior:I have been responsible for programs in zero-failure environments (**e.g., AMA, AXA, Bayer**) involving the safeguarding of multi-billion euro cash flows.

In addition to strategic 72h audits, as **Interim Program Lead**, I take over the overall operational management of your projects to directly implement the identified measures with the teams and sustainably ensure **milestone adherence**.

Bridge Builder:I moderate thegenerational changebetween legacy experts (Host/Oracle) and agile DevOps teams, bridging the information gap between IT and C-level.

Methodological Expertise:Whether SAFe, Scrum, or classic governance – I ensure structures that deliver reliable results even in critical phases.
The consulting activities are carried out within the framework of the regulated trade of business consulting in accordance with the Austrian Trade Regulation Act.

*AI-powered Baseline Validation
