GermanyWhat I'm looking for
I've led operations and transformation projects at Pirates World, including the end-to-end Personio rollout across two agencies and a Google Workspace migration with zero data loss. I improve workflows, reporting, and cross-team delivery while giving leadership clearer visibility into operational KPIs.
Previously, I co-founded and operationalised Svapinga e.V. and managed full operations, P&L, vendors, and a 25+ person team at Sushi+Soul. I've also delivered infrastructure and logistics for international festivals serving 10,000+ attendees, leading multilingual teams and coordinating vendors, authorities, and cross-border logistics under pressure.
