Digitaler Change Maker
My previous professional stations provide valuable experience:
- Degree in Business Informatics
- Management consulting
- Building and further developing management information systems
- Various leadership roles
- Subject-matter expert in software consulting and sales.
Even more important than experience is the willingness to change, openness to new things, and a constant look beyond the horizon. Continuous transformation also applies to one’s own life.
Systematic pragmatist
Dynamic, agile, and flexible—while also process-oriented and systematic. That’s not a contradiction.
Clear processes, personal responsibility, specialization, and division of labor help even in times of Scrum and Kanban. Only those who complete their tasks systematically and with routine can remain open to creative and new ideas.
My knowledge of common management standards helps implement solutions quickly and sustainably—the wheel doesn’t always have to be reinvented. For efficient and effective implementation, however, it always also requires a good dose of pragmatism.
Honorable Merchant
The virtues of the “honorable merchant” are more relevant than ever in times of corporate governance and corporate social responsibility.
Trust in one’s word, reliability in speech, and dependability in action remain self-evident—even in times of “fake news”—and are a valuable basis for long-term cooperation.
Alignment with timeless standards and Christian values forms the foundation of my private life and my professional conduct.
Speaker and Thought Leader
