"Who stops to get better - stops to be good!"

Partly as an employee and partly as a self-employed entrepreneur I look back to many years of experience in the fields of product / project management, product owner, consulting, e-commerce, web / print design, advertising technique, photography, front-end programming, IT technology and marketing. Thereby I cover a large part of the requirements of the IT- & media industry.

Based on my experience and varied professional specializations, as well because of my generalistic and analytical skills combined with strong economic thinking, I am able to manage large complex projects or to develop IT departments and to structure & optimize interdisciplinary processes.

I am an educated media designer and I have studied Media & Communication Management.

Personally

Depending on opportunities, needs and interests basically I can say about me that I'm a very versatile, practical thinking and efficiency desiring person. I am pursuing my goals very engaged. Unknown I learn independently and quickly. I am open minded to new - even in the private sector I educate myself with joy. Learned I like to share.

In addition to my professional interests my private life has an important role. Among other things, I like doing different sports very much. For example I have performed martial arts judo around 20 years. Other important interests of my private area are technology, travel & photography.
