20 years of experience in IT & Leadership

I manage my profession methodically. Earlier, as a software developer, valuable and intuitive software and services (as well as clean code and technical excellence) were always appreciated by me. I learned that in the ever-changing environment of new technologies, you will never achieve perfection, and things will never be fully finished, period.

This never-ending stream of value got me to understand new disciplines like entrepreneurship, project and product management, leadership, servant leadership, personality traits, management 3.0, and many more. A never-ending and ever-growing journey of self-development that brought me the opportunity to be a Supervisory Board Member at eco5Tech.

Now I’m bold enough to question the surrounding world openly (yet respecting others), defending what is most important: the user experience and the value that product or service brings to him or her.

Throughout my life, I have had the opportunity to work closely with people who taught me how to invest time in valuable ideas, how to organize my work, and how to build a healthy culture for me and my team. Those were valuable lessons for life. A grand journey through experimentation, hypothesis, verification, adaptation, analysis, drawing conclusions, and adapting to the surrounding environment. A lesson that still lasts to this day. A true personal and professional development lesson. I am extremely happy and thankful for this period to be able to continue.

Right now, I’m actively engaged in many mentoring activities. I am helping others and giving them the same support I received earlier.

Getting my hands dirty and not losing time is key to any empirical experience. The more we experience in our lives (both personally and professionally) and the more we will be engaged in the current issues that the board, management, teams, and individuals are facing, the more we can understand in order to improve their working environment. Just make things happen, simple as that.

I view myself as an entrepreneur and change leader with rich international business, technical, soft-skilled, and change management experience.

I’ve coached many company owners, C-Suite / C-level management, board members, and teams in order to make them aware of the benefits and threats stemming from agile and digital transformations and cultural changes.

From an operational standpoint (as a change agent), my job is to transform organizations (not just IT) towards more efficient and effective ones (including cultural changes). Supporting the organizations on the way to being “agile” or “lean”, by shaping a tailored environment (sometimes using the Scrum Studio approach or Kanban STATIK), we allow for creative work to happen.

You can call them agile organizations, you can call them digital transformation. The name, process, framework or approach does not matter, what matters is what works and which positive change we can spot and measure.

Whatever one would call me, I am simply a person who values balance, a change management approach with measurable data, and a healthy work atmosphere. I try to share my knowledge and coach, mentor, or teach others, passing on my “know-how” to make them fully independent and better than themself from the day before.

The values that I treasure: transparency, creativity, courage, engagement, adaptability, openness, constant development, respect and cooperation.
