About
I am an experienced IT consultant and Business & Enterprise Architect/Analyst with over 25 years of professional experience. My expertise lies in creating a holistic view of organizations and their business & IT ecosystems in order to turn initiatives and programs into effective action.
I bring comprehensive know-how in business architecture and analysis, requirements management, process consulting, and both strategic and operational EAM activities.
My project experience ranges from introducing and optimizing requirements-management systems to comprehensive implementation and integration projects with a focus on IT product and service development, as well as service-provider steering and vendor management.
I use a broad palette of methods and tools, including Business Architecture (BIZBOK®), Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM – LeanIX, ADOIT), process management (UML, BPM, BKM®), and requirements management (use-case, catalogue, and story-driven requirement elicitation). My work is shaped by agile project management with Scrum and SAFe as well as by my skills in object-oriented analysis.
As a Certified Business Architect and member of the Business Architecture Guild (BIZBOK®), a certified Data Scientist, and a systemic coach, I bring strong soft skills in communication, facilitation, and leadership of complex projects. I specialize in supporting clients with transformation and development projects—particularly through enterprise and business architecture as well as process and requirements management at all functional levels. I also offer support in agile environments through coaching, staff development, and recruiting.

Making complexity work
Abstract words behave like summer tires on slushy snow: they don't grip. Even for complex topics, I focus on language that is concrete, memorable, and easy to act on.
Language works best when it is catchy, evokes images and emotions, and promises a benefit. It also helps when messages are well structured and respect the reader's or listener's time.
Communicating in a vivid and memorable way is demanding—especially with abstract, complex topics. In line with my claim Making complexity work, I want clients to feel that I stay grounded and speak with them, not above them. That's why I translate abstractions into concrete terms, analogies, and everyday examples.
