Description

Senior IT Project & Program Manager with 8+ years of experience delivering complex IT, SAP, and data-driven programs for enterprise and mid-sized organizations across Europe and North America.

I help companies bring structure, clarity, and execution discipline to complex initiatives — especially where multiple stakeholders, vendors, and systems are involved. My focus is not on theory or frameworks, but on getting projects delivered, risks controlled, and decisions made.

What I typically do:

Lead end-to-end IT and digital programs (SAP, MES, BI, data platforms, integrations)
Set up or stabilize PMO and governance structures
Manage multi-vendor environments and cross-functional teams
Act as a single point of contact for C-level stakeholders
Bring failing or stuck projects back on track
Translate business goals into executable delivery plans

Typical engagements:

Enterprise IT & SAP transformation programs
Manufacturing / Automotive / Industrial IT projects
Data, analytics, and digital initiatives
Program management and PMO setup
Complex integrations with high operational impact

I am used to working in high-accountability environments where clarity, ownership, and delivery matter more than slides and buzzwords. Clients value my ability to stay calm under pressure, structure ambiguity, and keep teams moving forward.

Available for project-based or interim assignments.

Based in Vienna, working across the EU and internationally.
