What I'm looking for
As a seasoned IT project manager and product owner, I bring a wealth of experience in leading teams and managing complex projects within the tech industry. Currently serving as a Senior Product Owner at Fourenergy GmbH, I am responsible for overseeing the release cycles of critical products in the German toll system, ensuring that all incidents and problems are effectively managed. My analytical problem-solving skills and passion for agile methodologies have allowed me to drive successful outcomes in high-pressure environments.
Previously, I led product ownership at Assceor GmbH, where I spearheaded the development of a cloud-based controlling tool that managed salaries for over 4 million individuals. My role as Head of Development at RA-Micro Software AG further honed my leadership abilities, as I guided the rollout of new software products for a significant portion of the German legal market. With a strong foundation in project management and a commitment to fostering collaboration, I am dedicated to delivering innovative solutions that meet the needs of both clients and stakeholders.
