@klauskuespert
Experienced project manager with a strong background in stakeholder management.
What I'm looking for
I am Klaus Kuespert, a dedicated Project Manager with extensive experience in project and event management. My journey began with the establishment of my own food business, Uncle Klaus, in Vietnam, where I developed a unique menu of German specialties and successfully managed a team of six. This entrepreneurial venture honed my skills in branding and team leadership, setting the foundation for my career in project management.
Prior to my business, I served as a Senior Consultant for a major POS software rollout at CPC AG in China, where I collaborated with a diverse project team of over 100 roles. My role at the Chamber of Commerce in Hamburg further enriched my experience, as I was involved in the conception and implementation of significant business conferences, enhancing my intercultural sensitivity and stakeholder management skills.
With formal training in project management and non-violent communication, I am committed to fostering constructive dialogue and achieving project goals. I am fluent in German and English, with additional language skills in Mandarin and Vietnamese, allowing me to navigate multicultural environments effectively.
