About Me

Independent, introverted, INTJ. Originally from Germany, more than evident whenever I speak in my wonderfully melodic accent, I have found my new home in England since 2004. At first in Reading for about ten years, I am living in Central London now - the perfect place to live out my urban lifestyle and passion for concerts, museums and just generally enjoying the vibrant capital on the one hand and beautiful parks that provide me with more "countryside" than I ever need. ;-)

In my professional career I am working as a Digital Transformation Director for Verizon's Business Group as the only international member of an otherwise US-based team, so working from home has been a thing for me long before bravely surving the pandemic. Certified as Lean Six Sigma Black Belt (DMAIC & DMADV) and trained in workout facilitation and data science, I am leading projects to improve our operational efficiency and digital customer experiences through Natural Language Processing, Deep Learning, lean process optimization and automation in general.

Prior to this role, I have been leading the EMEA Network Services Repair, which I had joined after my studies of Mathematics and Computer Science at the Technical University of Dortmund and which had been my professional home for fifteen years in various technical management roles - at first for five years in Germany, then in Verizon's EMEA headquarter in Reading, before I transitioned into the Verizon Lean Six Sigma, Business Transformation and ultimately Digital Transformation organizations and moved my home to Central London.

I quite enjoy online learning platforms and popular science always finds its way to the top of my reading list, which I balance with my love for music, a growing appreciation of art and my amateur interest in photography.

Anyway, personal webpages of people of zero public interest stopped being a thing about 20 years ago, so I better wrap it up ...
