Project Manager

Adform

To me, project management has always been much more than a career – it is, first and foremost, a mindset and an all-round way to get things done. Project management offers universal skills which can be applied in both professional and personal life – problem-solving, communication, psychology, ability to effectively manage time and expectations, deal with uncertainty. Project management has also been my gateway to the IT sector. Since the start of my career in the tech industry, I have been leading strategic commercial and development projects, worked with project portfolio management, built and executed a project management training program for aspiring project managers. Having set foot in the tech industry a bit more than 3 years ago, I still have a vivid memory about the challenges I have faced when entering it and the lessons I have learned along the way. Reflecting back on my experience, I am certain that the key to a successful start and general personal fulfillment at work is all about building meaningful relationships and having the drive to learn. Especially once you start, try to stay open to other people’s advice and guidance, but strive not lose track of your main goal – finding your own individuality and voice as a young professional. If you are looking for someone to help you unlock your potential as a project manager or offer support in your pursuit of entering the tech world – I will do my best to offer a helping hand. I look forward to learning from one another!
