About Niklas

Educational Background
My experience ranges from practical hands-on vocational training as an apprentice at Mercedes-Benz in Germany to top-notch research and development projects as a German Fulbright Scholar at the University of California in Berkeley in the United States.  My field of research focused on the creation and optimization of hybrid project management concepts.
 
To further broaden my knowledge, I did my master's studies in mechanical engineering and strategic management at the research-intensive Technical University of Munich, Germany.                          
For my undergraduate degree in engineering, I studied both mechanical engineering in Germany and international business at the University of Hong Kong.                                             
 
I am fluent in both German (native) and English.                                                         
Professional Background
12+ years of experience in the automotive, construction, and consulting industries. Paired with several innovation and software development projects, I am using my experience to continuously improve our project management software.                                                                    
Why Project Management?
Thanks to my father I quickly understood that everything in your life requires planning if you want to be successful and reach your goals.                                                         
 
While working in the automotive industry, I was responsible for designing agile software development processes in addition to developing new hardware that could be concurrently rolled out on a global scale at a major German automotive OEM. The rollout concept merged agile parts of software development with traditional management elements to plan the global rollout.                                                  
 
While writing the thesis, I decided to intensify my research on how to combine different management strategies. The outcome is an advanced logical framework that supports our consulting processes.                                                                                                                                                        
 
My attitude passed on by my dad?
"Not feasible is not an option."
