As a digital leader and management consultant with over 20 years of experience in IT transformation, digitalization, media strategies, and innovation, I support companies in strategically planning, successfully implementing, and sustainably anchoring complex transformation and innovation projects.
My expertise includes optimizing business processes along the entire value chain, including supply chain management and purchasing. I combine deep technical understanding with strategic vision and international project experience to increase efficiency, competitiveness, and innovative strength.
In addition, I advise on the implementation of relevant EU regulations such as the Data Act, AI Act, and Cyber Resilience Act—from analyzing requirements to integrating them into existing processes to implementation.
My approach: strategy, implementation, and change management from a single source—for tangible results and a future-proof digital orientation.
