15+ years leading complex programmes across cloud migration, SAFe at scale, and enterprise PMO — from Siemens and Accenture to Google Cloud. I bring structure, momentum, and results.
I'm a Senior Project and Programme Manager specialising in digital transformation, cloud programmes, and scaled agile delivery. Based in the DACH region, I work with organisations that need someone who can operate at C-level one moment and deep in delivery detail the next.
My background spans Siemens, Accenture's Google Cloud Group, Genpact, and Geberit — across industries from industrial manufacturing to enterprise SaaS. I've built PMOs from scratch, coached teams through SAFe, and managed multi-continent rollouts under real budget and time pressure.
I work best in complex, cross-functional environments where someone needs to impose clarity, remove blockers, and keep both the technology teams and the board aligned — simultaneously.
I take on engagements where there's complexity to untangle, speed to create, or governance to build — ideally all three at once.
End-to-end programme ownership across GCP, AWS, and Azure migrations. I manage vendor relationships, delivery partners, risk structures, and stakeholder alignment from kick-off to go-live.
Implementing SAFe at scale — PI Planning, ART coordination, coaching teams from Scrum basics to full Lean Portfolio Management. I've done this in global environments with competing priorities.
Standing up programme offices that actually work: governance models, reporting cadences, decision frameworks, and escalation paths that give leadership transparency without overhead.
SAP S/4HANA implementations, data platform rollouts, and operational change enablement. Strong focus on user adoption, not just technical go-live.
Step in fast, ramp up faster. I take interim responsibility for stalled or complex programmes — stabilise, re-baseline, and drive to delivery.
From Six Sigma workflow redesign to AI-powered document automation (Google Document AI). I define the governance model, then make the technology stick operationally.
From strategic planning at Siemens to enterprise cloud programmes at Accenture — a track record of delivery in complex organisations.
A mix of delivery methodology, cloud platforms, and enterprise tooling — built across 15 years of hands-on programme work.
I'm open to consulting engagements, interim programme management, and advisory work in digital transformation. If you have a complex programme that needs experienced hands — get in touch.
