Executive Consulting

Large software projects and IT programs are complex and have their own dynamics.

Planning and management are demanding. Even when a project is well-structured, unforeseen situations continuously arise that must be resolved under time pressure and with consideration for numerous stakeholders. Technical, methodological, and interpersonal aspects intertwine.

 

As an executive consultant, I offer my expertise and hands-on support in developing solutions.

 

I act as a facilitator, combining experience from numerous large IT programs with modern workshop formats from change management and organizational development.

 

very large IT-Programs

Very large IT programs have their own dynamics.
Due to their extended duration, requirements often change significantly during the project.
They consume substantial resources, leading to high pressure for success.
Continuous results must be delivered while simultaneously building long-term infrastructures and architectures.
They are highly complex, involving significant business changes, extensive modifications to data, application, and operational landscapes, and the establishment of project teams comprising several hundred distributed individuals.

 

Establishing effective governance and robust planning is crucial to consistently demonstrate success and promptly identify and address any lack of progress.

 

I have extensive experience supporting large IT initiatives, including program management, planning, establishing necessary governance structures, managing crisis situations and turnarounds, and handling special tasks.

 

Core-System Migrations

Migrating core systems is one of the most significant IT challenges for banks or insurance companies. Such initiatives impact all customers, employees, processes, and the entire ecosystem, requiring substantial management resources up to the highest leadership levels.

 

Management teams must be augmented with individuals possessing the necessary technical expertise and leadership skills.

 

Bank / Avaloq
I support banks in migrating their core banking infrastructure, including overall project management, planning, executive PMO roles, and special tasks.

 

Insurance / Adcubum SYRIUS
I assist insurance companies with projects involving SYRIUS and collaboration with Adcubum, leveraging my extensive experience as CTO of Adcubum.

Digital Banking

Digital banking systems are the most frequently used customer interface for modern banks.

 

Requirements for usability, security, availability, and service breadth are continually increasing. Successfully implementing these systems requires a broad spectrum of expertise.

 

As a project manager and management consultant, I have supported numerous banks in their digital banking initiatives and co-founded hmi informatik, which developed Switzerland's leading digital banking system.

 

Mortgage Management

Financial institutions can achieve economies of scale by outsourcing mortgage management.
Collaborating with established providers necessitates specialized knowledge.

 

I support financial institutions in modernizing their mortgage management systems, drawing on my experience from relevant projects with international financial institutions.
