I lead complex technology and transformation projects from initial setup through to stable operational delivery. My focus is on creating structure in demanding environments, building capable teams and aligning technical execution with customer and business objectives.
For the past 15 years, I have worked across Automotive, Finance and Defence, with extensive experience in the Volkswagen Group environment. My background combines project leadership, testing and integration, homologation, process improvement and international delivery.
A recurring part of my work is taking ownership of new or challenging assignments, establishing the right organization, processes and technical setup, and developing them into scalable delivery structures.
