Experience from practice

Evidence rather than claims.

Earlier professional stations such as Deutsche Telekom, T-Systems, Siemens AG and PricewaterhouseCoopers were employments before I became self-employed — they are not reference clients. The cases described here are from my consulting practice since 2007 and are presented without client names.
