About Benjamin

I am a highly experienced Certified Scrum Master, Senior Project Manager, and Agile Consultant, specializing in enterprise-wide transformations and ServiceNow implementations. With a proven track record in Insurance, Energy, Utilities, Pharmaceutical, and Healthcare, I have successfully led global projects, system migrations, and process optimizations.

My expertise lies in Agile methodologies (Scrum, SAFe, LeSS), workflow automation, and digital transformation. I have extensive experience with CRM, Billing, Pricing, MDM, and Data Analytics platforms, including Salesforce, SAP, Oracle, and Veeva Vault. Proficient in Jira and Confluence, I design and implement Agile governance frameworks to streamline operations and drive efficiency.

I have a strong background in IT project management, vendor negotiations, and stakeholder engagement, ensuring seamless cross-functional collaboration across diverse industries. I excel at delivering complex migrations, ERP transitions, and cloud-based solutions, integrating cutting-edge technologies such as AI, automation, and IoT.

With fluency in English (native) and German (B2), I navigate multicultural teams and global projects with ease. My strategic leadership, problem-solving mindset, and deep technical acumen make me an asset for any organization looking to enhance its Agile maturity, optimize digital processes, or implement transformative IT solutions.
