About me
Über mich

Freelance Consultant at the breakpoint of Finance & IT. I bridge the gap between financial steering and technology — helping companies transform their Controlling, Reporting, ERP landscapes and BI capabilities with modern, AI-powered approaches.

With 12 years in Telecommunications (Deutsche Telekom & Orange) and 4 years in Aviation (Lufthansa / GateGroup), I bring deep expertise in Financial Performance Steering, ERP implementations (SAP, CATIT), Business Intelligence (Power BI, Hyperion), and Supply Chain digitization.

I built financial reporting structures from scratch for a strategic joint-venture and achieved unconditional EU Merger Approval (Case M.8284). During COVID, I kept together a 30-person team and transformed processes for post-crisis efficiency.

I hold a B.Sc. in Computer Science & Business Administration and an MBA from Frankfurt School of Finance & Management. Available for freelance mandates in Controlling, ERP, BI, Reporting, and Finance-IT Transformation.

Freelance Consultant an der Schnittstelle von Finance & IT. Ich verbinde finanzielle Steuerung mit moderner Technologie — und helfe Unternehmen, ihr Controlling, Reporting, ERP-Systeme und BI-Landschaften mit KI-gestützten Ansätzen zu transformieren.

Mit 12 Jahren in der Telekommunikation (Deutsche Telekom & Orange) und 4 Jahren in der Luftfahrt (Lufthansa / GateGroup) bringe ich tiefe Expertise in Financial Performance Steering, ERP-Implementierungen (SAP, CATIT), Business Intelligence (Power BI, Hyperion) und Supply-Chain-Digitalisierung mit.

Ich habe Financial-Reporting-Strukturen von Grund auf für ein strategisches Joint-Venture aufgebaut und die EU-Fusionsgenehmigung (Case M.8284) erreicht. Während COVID hielt ich ein 30-köpfiges Team zusammen und transformierte Prozesse für die Zeit nach der Krise.

Ich halte einen B.Sc. in Wirtschaftsinformatik und einen MBA von der Frankfurt School of Finance & Management. Verfügbar für Freelance-Mandate in Controlling, ERP, BI, Reporting und Finance-IT-Transformation.
