Executive Profile
Strategic leadership with technical depth.
As Director IT, I develop IT from a traditional support function into a strategic business partner—with a clear focus on value creation, transparency and sustainable execution.
My work connects IT strategy, digital transformation and operational excellence. I shape international transformation and integration programmes, modernise digital workplaces and establish governance structures that accelerate decisions and make accountability visible.
For me, transformation is first and foremost a leadership responsibility. Successful change happens when people are empowered, trust grows, and business and IT work towards shared outcomes. I combine a strategic perspective with pragmatic, hands-on execution.
Technology creates value when it enables people, improves decisions and drives business outcomes.

Leadership Principles
Clarity builds trust.
Transformation succeeds where leadership happens at eye level, people understand the objective, take ownership and can see progress.
Business first
Technology is not an end in itself. It must make a clear and meaningful contribution to value creation.
Lead at eye level
Leadership at eye level means listening, providing direction and taking people seriously. Trust, openness and honest feedback create the foundation for strong teams and sustainable change.
Clarity over complexity
Complex situations need clear decisions, transparent priorities and focus.
Empower ownership
Strong teams are built on trust, accountability and a dependable framework.
Operate to transform
Stability today creates the freedom to shape tomorrow with purpose.
