Project Mentoring
InnoPark Suisse SA
Young entrepreneurs present their entrepreneurial projects, and as a member of a mentor’s group, I provide them with insightful advice to optimize their initiatives. • Encourage and strengthen the confidence of mentees. • Foster a positive attitude towards challenges. • Ability to establish trusting relationships. • Active listening. • Sharing in-depth knowledge and relevant advice. • Ability to teach and transfer skills.
In my dual role as Product Owner and Change Manager, I orchestrated two pivotal projects. First, amid the HPE Software and Micro Focus merger, I integrated Micro Focus processes. Subsequently, aligning with Oracle, I navigated the transition from Anaplan to Oracle's OSPC, overseeing substantial process simplification. These experiences underscore my proficiency in steering seamless technological transitions within dynamic business environments.
