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
