Profile

Senior IT specialist, responsible for the output management component of CargoWise One at DSV. At Panalpina I led the output management team and was responsible as application consultant for the close cooperation with the interface team (SAP PI) during the migration to the SAP TM application. Leading role as project manager in the monitoring, development, training and support of a proprietary application in COBOL.

My strengths include my reliable and responsible way of working. I deliver high-quality results while prioritizing tasks efficiently and maintaining an overview even in hectic situations. I use my excellent communication skills in German, English and French in contact with the team, across teams and with external contacts. This enables me to find solutions quickly and ensure a high level of customer satisfaction.

For the next step in my career as Application Manager, I am looking for a new challenge that will allow me to use my many years of experience and my in-depth specialist knowledge to drive improvements in IT and therefore also in the business area.
