Description

🚀 I rescue high-stakes IT programs that are behind schedule, over budget, or stuck in vendor chaos.

8+ years delivering complex transformations across energy, finance, and retail:

$15M enterprise system modernizations across 10 European markets
Multi-vendor coordination (10+ vendors simultaneously)
Zero-downtime deployments for 3,500+ operational sites
Generated $1M+ in cost savings through strategic vendor negotiations

What I deliver:

Enterprise & ERP system implementations (POS, SAP, payments, digital platforms)
M&A integration & vendor transitions
Digital transformation programs with measurable ROI

How I work:

I combine structured methodologies (PRINCE2, Agile, ITIL) with hands-on problem-solving. I've advised CIOs on make-vs-buy decisions, secured $20M+ in strategic funding, and kept senior stakeholders informed while coordinating daily delivery across distributed teams.

Why clients choose me:

Proven track record in regulated industries (energy, finance, retail)
Experience rescuing at-risk projects
Fluent in English, German, Spanish - comfortable leading multicultural teams
Available for remote (any duration) or hybrid/on-site projects (3-6 months) across Europe

Let's talk if you need an IT Project Manager who ensures business-critical programs are delivered successfully when stakes are high and timelines are tight.
