About Me

My current assignments focus on topics such as integration management, cutover management, product management, as well as solution architecture. This is where my many years of experience in international projects and my comprehensive understanding of the processes in retail and wholesale come into their own.

My high social competence motivates the project team and presents any project positively outside the core team. This is a crucial factor in turning a project into a successful project.

As an all-rounder, I work both conceptually in the optimization of business processes (BPR), the creation of concepts (blue-prints) as well as during the implementation (customizing, writing RICEFs) and the operation (training, support).

Since 2000 I am working as freelancer and advising clients in Germany and abroad.

During my time as a permanent employee (including at SAP) I was able to prove my project management skills and make implementation projects a success.

After a classical IT career (software engineering, UNIX) I came into contact with the retail business in 1993. The knowledge of various merchandise management systems (DISPOS II, SAP R/3 Retail, Retek, SAP S/4HANA Retail for Merchandise Management) deepened in many projects.
