The world of railway business is currently changing deeply. Often based on IT-tools, we can observe new processes, new structures and – most important – new challenging demands of all kind from customers.
“Customized process approaches” – this wording describes one of the most important tasks to transform analogue railway systems into digital systems. It’s an amazing process, exciting as well, because the success of development is consequently related every time to human beings working with and beyond those new processes!
Learning and expanding my knowledge for more than 25 years, my experiences within German Railways started at a “civil serving based company” to be transformed into a leading international freight railway company in Europe today. This is the background I bring into my methods, expertise and social skills to reach one goal at least: to increase traffic on rail worldwide together with you!
Make Railways great again – not by cheap words, but by serious and professional work - that’s the difference!
