What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can create effective structures that empower teams and drive company success.

I am a structured leader with extensive experience in both startup environments and corporate settings. At Quiply, a SaaS startup, I successfully built the entire administration and led the company to a successful sale to the Proalpha Group. Currently, I serve as the Head of Business Unit, managing a team of 14 and overseeing the merger with Atoria - the people software GmbH. My role involves operational, communicative, and strategic guidance, ensuring that we create scalable processes and identify bottlenecks early to implement long-lasting solutions.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong ability to develop efficient and scalable processes, introduce central tools, and collaborate with external partners. I take pride in my responsibility for compliance and communication topics, ensuring that our operations align with the highest standards. My motivation lies in creating structures that empower teams to work effectively, allowing me to support my team and the company from behind the scenes.
