I started working here as a Consultant at the end of 2019. Now as a Project Manager, I am responsible for projects – mostly IT ones – for companies in the banking and insurance or pharmaceutical industries.
Before I came to grosse-hornke, I already knew that I would identify more with a small to medium-sized management consultancy thanks to experiences of my friends at well-known large management consultancies. When I moved to Münster after my studies, I realized very quickly that the work of grosse-hornke interested me. What is particularly noteworthy in our daily work is that we are allowed to use our strengths in positions of responsibility right from the start, and that we work together as a team to bring projects forward.
As a child, growing up in Gummersbach, I discovered early on that I like to deal intensively with a wide variety of topics and that I have an affinity for technology. That’s why I started studying mechanical engineering in Aachen. During my school and university years, I noticed that I like to organize and approach problems in a structured way, and that I love to work with people. That’s why my work at grosse-hornke fits very well with my personality and interests.
After a Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, I did a Masters in production engineering, also at RWTH Aachen. Across my studies, I learned intensively how to deal with issues in detail, quickly and effectively. This ability benefits me today in my job at grosse-hornke, as we are always familiarizing ourselves with new projects and topics and driving them forward. In this respect, the work also fits in very well with my studies, as I have been working increasingly in the IT sector with a technical focus.
Do your best and absorb the experience your colleagues share like a sponge! In consulting, you can learn a lot of things very quickly and should be ready for the exciting challenge.
Mainly with my friends and family. For example, I love game nights, vacations together and running around with my two little nephews.
I also enjoy doing sport. I have always had a passion for playing soccer since I was a little kid. Up until the men’s teams, I gave my best every season – many years as captain – and had a great time with my teammates. During my studies, I started playing in student soccer leagues and an extracurricular team. Unfortunately, I have had knee problems in the last few years, so I hardly play soccer anymore, but I still enjoy watching games on TV or in the stadium, e.g., in my homebase of Münster with SC Preußen Münster.
Another passion that I have been pursuing since I was a teenager is karting. I love to get faster and faster and to beat others in a race. But I especially enjoy the togetherness here as well.
Sober analysis, strategy and KPIs – that’s what many people associate with consulting. A one-sided image, says our colleague Mazino. “Taking people with you” is what he sees as an important part of his job as a consultant.
“No risk, no fun” or excessive caution? The risk culture shapes the way management and staff behave in projects. How to promote a healthy approach to project risk.
Inspiring goals that motivate your team to top performance: This is what the agile management method OKR promises.
To get off to a successful start, everyone needs to internalize the basics.
Perseverance is required – because the principles cannot be applied intuitively.
