Skill set
Thomas in a few words
Strategic transformations often require dedicated project management, yet PMO responsibilities are frequently left to internal teams already balancing their core roles. With a background in management consulting and hands-on execution, I help businesses drive complex initiatives—without overburdening their teams. From manufacturing footprint transformations to supply chain due diligence, business planning excellence, and HR process optimization, I provide structured, execution-focused support to keep projects on track and deliver measurable results.
