About Thomas
Senior IT Project Manager with 15+ years of experience in automotive, transport and tech. I plan and deliver complex IT and digitalisation projects, set up PMOs, coordinate distributed Scrum teams and manage vendors and nearshore partners.
My background combines an MBA, hands-on project delivery and deep experience in rail/public transport ticketing and passenger information systems, CRM rollouts and platform/Cloud projects (Jira, Confluence, Xray, Docker).
In parallel I am building a second pillar in AI/ML (Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence, B.Sc. Mathematics), positioning myself as a **bridge between development and business**: translating use cases into technical solutions, evaluating risks, and ensuring ethics, security and data protection are taken seriously from day one.
Typical missions:
- IT project / program management (classic and agile, SAFe)
- Setup and steering of PMO, reporting and KPI dashboards
- Digitalisation of business processes (CRM, platforms, data/Cloud)
- AI/ML-related projects where business and technical teams need a common language
Available for remote or hybrid projects, German, Scandinavian and English.
