What is your role at Linkyard and what will your work look like?

Senior consultant/project manager

Describe your career path

I originally started out as a bank clerk 26 years ago and then went down the path of asset manager and economic analyst. It was also there when I first came into contact with software development, processes and efficiency improvement projects, of course hardly any methodology, project organization or large selection of tools and platforms existed at the time — they invented them themselves. These topics sparked my interest so I wanted to see what more complex and larger problems I could solve. That's when I left my specialized career and gained initial experience in company-wide interface functions and as a manager mostly in the pharmaceutical industry, but also in retail, medical instruments, technology and agriculture, just to name a few. In doing so, I have developed more and more towards strategy, processes, portfolio and project management for automation, digital transformation and data science in business and IT.

My last studies focused on business development and innovation, which, like all training courses, I completed while working.

How would you describe yourself in one sentence?

I am a friendly, communicative and curious weed with a special sense of humor that only grows on lava soil and likes to bring people together.

What do you enjoy about your free time?

I've always loved being in nature, I'm very interested in design and fashion, cooking and enjoying and collecting port wine, although the collection never remains constant. I like to attend cultural events. I dance more in the sense of movement therapy. I love spending time with my dog, family and friends. Otherwise, I am still a builder, artist, psychologist, etc. It depends on what I feel like or what happens. I am obsessed with everything from architecture, neurophilosophy to materials science. I have to find one again first, but I like to read books in Old German albeit rarely.

Coca-Cola or Pepsi?

Dear ginger beer lemonade. Otherwise it's more Fritz Cola, but the main thing is not Zero or Light... If so, with sugar.
