My professional mission: I help organizations transform their internal culture and Digital Product development processes, what enables them to develop the market faster, more efficient and at a lower cost. Usually, we start by checking, improving and optimizing the development lifecycle (SDLC) – need identification, planning, analysis, development, validation, deployments, maintenance. Then, we additionally improve the business value specification and measurement. After that, we put in place an evidence-based planning and management of the business impact.
Acting as a change agent, facilitator, coach, mentor, trainer, servant leader and impediment remover, I offer a hands-on pragmatic result-driven approach reinforced by wide knowledge about the product lifecycle.
An IT-leader with a positive target-oriented creative approach that achieves results in challenging but open-minded and change-ready environments.
