Werner is specialized in positions where change happens. His holistic mindset creates value that others can’t. Cross-functional roles as combinations of customer focused, innovative & digitally transformative work brings his project management skills and lean-agile leadership best into play.

His initial interest in concepts such as customer experience, customer journeys and service design have been triggered during an exchange year studying in Sweden, a country widely known for its digital thought leadership. His passion for enabling change became apparent when he took on a driving change management role in a large-scale global IT implementation project. In recent years, he has widened his interests to include agile ways of working, for which he holds 3 of the worldwide most recognized certifications (SAFe SPC, PSM I and PMI-ACP).

The ventures he has been part of range from product development to market entry, from the introduction of IT systems and tools to large-scale IT-transformation programs, from conflict management on team level to crisis management in foreign civil conflict, from the establishment of new partnerships to small-scale ecosystems and from routine work to iterative complex delivery using agile practices.
