Launch Products. Build Teams. Deliver Results.

Project-based product ownership. No consulting slides. Measurable results. In 6-12 months.

Who I Am

For over 19 years, I've been shipping products in environments where most see only obstacles: Gematik-compliant health apps, edge-to-cloud IoT platforms with 55 people and 3 vendors, public sector platforms with complex stakeholder landscapes.

My first question in every project: How do you know it works? Not as a rhetorical exercise, but as the foundation for every decision. Five perspectives, measurable, before a single line of code is written.

I work project-based with your team. Launch products, build teams, manage vendors, make decisions. Self-directed, with clean handover - when it runs, I'm out.

I learned how to manage enterprise projects at Accenture, codecentric, and adesso. But also what does NOT work. That's why I focus on what really matters: Measurable results.

My Philosophy

Project-Based Collaboration: I work with your team, not in your team. Clearly defined results. Own methodology. Multiple clients in parallel. For you: maximum flexibility, no long-term commitments.

Impact > Strategy: PowerPoint presentations are not success. Measurable results are. I take responsibility until impact – not just until strategy.

Outcome Ownership: I don't advise. I decide, execute, and hand over – when it runs.
