Technical Project Management and Project Lead
Optimized project delivery through implementation of a sophisticated hybrid project management approach. By combining structured waterfall planning for strategic timeline management with agile methodologies for flexible execution, we enhanced project efficiency and predictability. This balanced framework ensures clear project milestones and deliverables while maintaining the adaptability needed for complex security implementations.
Vendor Management And Communication
Managed comprehensive migration coordination and stakeholder engagement as lead technical advisor. Our team established structured communication channels between the solution provider and client stakeholders, while orchestrating cross-functional workshops across business units. This systematic approach ensured efficient knowledge transfer, minimized operational impact on client teams, and maintained clear communication on interdepartmental dependencies throughout the migration process.
Organization Design And Implementation
Designed a comprehensive operational framework for the newly implemented centralized password management infrastructure. The model encompasses global organizational structure, standardized operational processes for user and request management across business units, detailed role definitions, and strategic staffing plans. This holistic approach ensures sustainable operations through clear governance structures, efficient workflows, and targeted capability development.

Successful Migration
More than 40.000 privileged credentials from various tools have been migrated to a central platform with limited impact for the end-users.
Staff Enablement
End-users have been trained to utilize the new central solution and to leverage the newly available features for secure credential handling.
Target Operations Model
An operating model has been established, which is transferred to additional business units and areas which were initially out of scope for the migration.
