My profile: well rounded – but with in-depth knowledge and experience
Rapidly changing global markets and technology, ever more demanding customers, multinational organizations and partners, intricate corporate structures: To take decisions and implement solutions in this highly complex environment is a challenge.
I love these kinds of challenges!
And: I provide the skills and experience needed to solve highly complex problems within your organization:
- Vast experience with transformation processes, team dynamics and the typical friction points between project- and line organizations – gained in the many projects in which worked with and lead the program management.
- Broad conceptual and analytical knowledge – from many years working as a management consultant (first with McKinsey and later as freelancer)
- Highly structured problem solving approach – thanks to my engineering background and test electronics work? Or simply because that’s how and who I am …
- At ease with complex organizational dynamics – due to my work experience with startups as well as small, medium large, and multinational companies
- Extensive international experience – from living and working in the US, Europe and Asia
- Empathy and active listening – part of my training as a certified business coach
- A high degree of curiosity and passion for everything I do – that’s the way I am!
