The optimistic strategist


"It always seems impossible until it's done."
Nelson Mandela


Most people see big goals in life or in projects as impossible rather than simply setting out on the path. I have experienced that exactly these moments – when the goal seems unreachable – can be the turning point of a self-fulfilling prophecy. If that moment is seen and seized as an opportunity, rather than as impossible, the goal is much closer than you think. With that in mind, I want to help my clients to deliver both simple projects and the seemingly impossible.




BACKGROUND



After graduating with a degree in Business Administration (Diplom-Kaufmann), I gained more than five years of experience as Sales & Account Manager. Driven by my desire for personal development, I additionally completed training as an IT specialist for systems integration. As a result, I have been able to act successfully not only as project manager but also as technical coordinator. In projects I am the calm anchor who always works in a results-oriented way. In my projects I am perceived as a results-oriented and proactive team player. My passion is to learn new things and to integrate them efficiently into everyday work. That's exactly what draws me to consulting. With my strengths, my mindset and my motivation, I can substantially support projects and lead them to success.

LIGHTHOUSE PROJECTS


Technical migration: MS365 & Server 2022


Coordination and technical execution for the migration of a small business (approx. 30 employees). The pandemic created the need to migrate the entire IT infrastructure to a data center, with a hybrid solution combining cloud and on-premise. At the same time the migration had to happen seamlessly, without disrupting day-to-day operations.


Project coordination of a service management and communications project with over 160,000 users

As project coordinator, my role was to take over service management and communication between two companies working together for a shared customer. The project covered three environments built according to ITIL v3. Methods such as Agile, DevOps and Scrum were used. Monitoring key KPIs, the technical execution of various hardware changes and project controlling were my daily business on this project.
