After many years of project experience in Switzerland and in other countries, I am pleased to offer you my help and assistance as a freelance, project manager to successfully manage your project for short, medium or long-term projects in Switzerland or abroad on an interim, temporary, parttime, or fulltime basis.

Past projects that I have managed or worked on include the following:

Managed a one-year infrastructure investment program with a very limited budget for an agency of the Swiss government in Bern. The requested project phases were completed on time, within budget and to requirements – even though the requirements were largely unknown at the start of the project. I managed three technical subproject managers and their teams. More than a dozen persons were involved altogether. I made monthly written reports and end-of-phase presentations & reports to top management for decision-making.

Coached a two and one-half year project (ca. CHF 4 million) to develop a new product and computer system for a Swiss small to medium-size enterprise (KMU). The product and computer system were successfully delivered on time and within budget – even though a major subcontractor in Germany had difficulties to deliver on time.

Managed the Swiss portion of a large customer project (over $40 million) in the USA for ticket vending machines. With the project team solved difficult project problems concerning production, assembly and testing. Conducted factory acceptance tests with the customer, both in Switzerland and the USA.

Significantly reduced the telecommunication costs for a large Swiss multinational customer by implementing a medium-size customer six-month project (over CHF 500’000) for a telecommunications company.

Member of a project team responsible for developing training programs for project management and business planning for the Czech telephone company in Prague during a joint venture foreign investment program (over CHF 500 million) by an agency of the Swiss government.

Managed two large foreign subcontractors for a large (over CHF 60 million) customer training program in Saudi Arabia for a Swiss KMU
manufacturer. Coordinated with the offices in Saudi Arabia and the customer. Prepared, conducted and controlled familiarization courses in Switzerland and France, controlled subcontractor invoicing and travelled to Saudi Arabia to coordinate and solve a serious taxation problem.

Analyzed and found the reasons why a major Swiss consumer products company was losing money on customer projects. I recommended policies/procedures to prevent this from continuing to occur. I assisted the CEO and executive management team during the development of their strategic business plan. Additionally, I coordinated and led a sales expansion team which increased product sales by over 40 percent in less than a year.

For a department of the U.S. government and for two large U.S. multinational companies, I executed market research projects in Switzerland
which helped U.S. companies more successfully promote and sell their products in Switzerland.

Member of a team working with the World Health Organization in Geneva and subject matter experts from all over the world to develop a strategy to combat pandemic influenza should such a disease break out.

Well-known companies and organzations that I have worked with or for include: Alstom, Ascom, Brown Boveri, Coop, Czech Telecom, Deutsche Airbus, Ericsson, General Motors, Mowag, New Jersey Transit (Transportation) Authority, Sunrise, Swatch, Swissair, Swisscom, the Swiss government, the U.S. government, UBS and others.

Besides these larger projects, I have successfully initiated, executed, planned, structured, organized, coordinated and controlled numerous other small to medium-sized projects.

I have also had considerable professional development in project management, as well as certification by PMI (Project Management Institute) as a PMP (Project Management Professional). I also have several years experience teaching project management.

Often I manage all or most aspects of non-technical projects. For technical projects I often coordinate the technical aspects with a technical project manager or with technical subject matter experts (SMEs). This usually is an ideal arrangement when managing large, important projects. Since I have an engineering and technical background and considerable experience working the fields of IT, telecommunications, electrîcal and electronic engineering and equipment, motor vehicles and equipment, aircraft, etc., working with technical persons normally works out well.

I manage projects in either English or German, and I have a basic knowledge of French. I have also worked in countries where other languages were spoken and I usually work well in intercultural and international teams, as well as with Swiss teams.

You may either phone me, send me an email, or send me a message by filling in the information on my contact page.

I look very much forward to hearing from you and to meeting you.
