With over 25 years blending strategic expertise and hands-on execution across business and technology, I have hands on experience in IT Service Management, Business Analysis, Service Design, Enterprise Architecture, and Cloud Consulting.

Sagen, was Sache ist. Machen, was nötig ist.

Björn spricht über mutige Strategien jenseits klassischer Transformation, moderne Führung und Verantwortung in digitalen Zeiten. Seine Perspektive: Wandel beginnt mit Klarheit - nicht mit PowerPoint.
Statt alte Systeme mühsam zu modernisieren, setzt Björn mit Whiskey Tango Foxtrot auf substanzielle Veränderungsprozesse. Nach dem Exit von sum.cumo wurde alles hinterfragt - von Technologie bis Führung.
Heute steht Whiskey Tango Foxtrot für Klarheit, Verantwortung und echte Innovationsfreiheit. Kein Transformations-Sprech, sondern ehrliche Arbeit mit Wirkung -  kein Sprint, sondern ein Marathon.
Auch im Geschäftsmodell: Co-Investments statt Investorenlogik. Partner:innen mit Unternehmergeist statt Renditedruck: für gemeinsame Ziele und maximale Gestaltungsfreiheit.
Diesen Ansatz bringt Björn auch in andere Unternehmen: als Impulsgeber, Sparringspartner und Mitgestalter. Ob Neugründung oder Reorganisation, mit Björn entstehen aus Mut, Erfahrung und Klarheit zukunftsfähige Modelle, die wirken.
