Über mich

Business anthropologist and transformation lead for regulated environments. I turn “technically ready” projects into real adoption — across clinical/digital change and MedTech automation & test systems — by aligning people, structure, and technology.

I help people, teams, and organizations navigate complexity, adopt change, and deliver under new conditions.

I bring together two related but distinct disciplines:

  1. Change, Project and Program Management
  2. Transformation Management:
Individual and team level: personal and behavioural: developing leadership, self-awareness, resilience, collaboration, decision-making, and the ability to act effectively in complexity.
Organizational level: enabling the organization to run and deliver while adapting to new requirements in its external environment.

I work industry- and tool-agnostic, with a particular focus on MedTech and Healthcare (with experience in Manufacturing, Pharma, Retail, Food & Beverages and Insurance). This cross-industry perspective helps me recognize transferable patterns while adapting solutions to each organization's specific context.

What I do
  • Change and project management: setup, planning, implementation, and adoption
  • Change readiness: impact assessments, stakeholder engagement, communication, training, and enablement
  • Transformation management: organizational capability, operating models, governance, and decision architecture, ERP System implementation, M&A, Outsourcing
  • Leadership coaching: from Young Leaders to C-level
  • Team transformation: collaboration, roles, conflict navigation, facilitation, and delivery rhythms
  • Organizational development: culture, processes, tools, technology, and sustainable ways of working
  • Facilitation: guiding coalitions, alignment and PI planning workshops, kick-offs, and roadmapping
  • Human-AI collaboration: trust, usability, accountability, and governance-aware adoption

Background & approach
  • 13+ years in change and project management, organizational development, and digital transformation
  • Doctoral background in Socio-Cultural Anthropology
  • I distinguish between implementing a specific change and building the capacity to keep adapting: both matter, but they require different interventions. My work combines structured delivery with attention to cultural patterns, behaviour, informal power structures, and the conditions that make sustainable performance possible

  • Methods: ARON® by me, Digital.CoCreation® by kyona Group, compatible with PROSCI, PRINCE2, GPM, and agile frameworks.
  • Tools: Microsoft 365, Power Platform, Azure DevOps, Jira, Confluence, Miro, and AI-supported collaboration tools.MS Suite incl. Power Platform, Planner and DevOps, I actively use AI tools (Claude, Copilot, Atlassian Intelligence) to accelerate outcomes – always human-centered and governance-aware
