01 / Where I make a difference
Set direction. Deliver together.
IT transitions and programme management
Organising and delivering complex change.
Supplier management and coordination
Connecting parties and driving shared commitments and results.
Governance and professionalisation support the approach and delivery.
02 / How I work
Clarity in complexity. Momentum in delivery.
I quickly understand the connections between technology, the organisation and different interests. Starting from the objectives, I develop a practical approach together with the people involved. I establish clear responsibilities, steer delivery and adjust where needed. I am direct, honest and transparent.
Experience from strategy to operations
My career started in software development and progressed through project, programme and business unit management to a Head of IT role. I was responsible for the entire IT function: from strategy and organisational development to delivery and day-to-day operations. That breadth of experience helps me set direction and make change work in practice.
03 / Experience in practice
From challenge to delivery.
Building an in-house IT department
At an organisation taking over people and contracts from its service provider, I helped build the new IT department. The transition to its own Azure and Microsoft 365 environment was successfully completed. I also recruited a project manager and engaged external specialists for information security and the development of a coherent IT roadmap.
Steering a complex IT transition
During a move to a new IT service provider and cloud environment, I brought together parties with different interests. I translated the high-level plan into an actionable approach, established clear responsibilities and adjusted along the way. The final migration stages ran smoothly, and the client experienced no disruption from the temporarily shared management responsibilities.
