IT PROJECT MANAGEMENT
A project needs to be finished.
The ERP has not gone live for months. The new building is up, the IT is not. The project management role is vacant or was never filled.
MoreAVAILABLE — DACH, CYPRUS, REMOTE & ON SITE — DIRECT CONTRACT
Fixed-term engagements. Full responsibility.
I take on IT projects where technology, organisation and regulation happen at the same time – as project manager, interim head of IT or compliance lead. Over 20 years, from mid-sized companies to international groups.
Four roles, one through-line
I take responsibility where technology, organisation and regulation converge – and carry it through to the result.
INTERIM IT MANAGEMENT
The head of IT position is vacant.
The post-holder has left, the search is taking time. Operations, projects, investments and compliance evidence carry on regardless.
MoreCOMPLIANCE & AUDIT
An attestation or audit is coming up.
BSI C5, ISO 27001, an NIS2 assessment – and no one to drive the programme through to the result.
MoreDIGITALISATION & AI
AI should go into production, not just onto the agenda.
The use cases are unclear, the data is unsorted, the framework is missing.
More- 14 EU distribution centres
- 3 new builds to final acceptance
- 1. BSI C5 attestation for the organisation
- 20+ years of project responsibility
How you can measure it
INTERNATIONAL FOOD RETAIL GROUP · LOGISTICS IT
IT infrastructure for 14 EU distribution centres, three new builds in parallel
Overall responsibility for 14 sites ranging from 10,000 to 40,000 m². Three new builds in the Netherlands and Belgium from planning to final acceptance – server room, network core, WLAN, trade coordination, contract management with suppliers.
CLOUD PLATFORM OF AN INTERNATIONAL RETAIL GROUP
First BSI C5 attestation for the organisation
Worked through the complete criteria catalogue criterion by criterion with the auditor, mapped it against the existing ISO 27001 control set, translated it into technical requirements. External auditor: a Big Four audit firm.
OWN CONSULTING PRACTICE
ERP migrations and process digitalisation in the Mittelstand
Over twenty years: system selection, data modelling, migration, interfaces. Sales processes roughly 40 % faster, technical service roughly 50 % more efficient, and in the reorganisation of a construction company more than 30 % savings in personnel costs.
What this covers in practice
Infrastructure & new builds
network planning, structured cabling, server rooms, WLAN surveys, WAN redundancy, trade coordination, partial and final acceptance
CRM, ERP, data & interfaces
system selection, implementation and migration, data modelling and cleansing, EDI and web shop integration, document management
Compliance & information security
BSI C5, ISO 27001, ISMS and DSMS development, audit management and evidence management, GDPR expertise from eight years as an external data protection officer, NIS2 and the EU AI Act worked through
Processes & automation
process analysis and standardisation, workflow automation with n8n, controlled use of AI with a framework and approval paths
Judgement, not execution
Execution is increasingly available. AI writes code, produces analyses, drafts documents. What it does not deliver is the decision about what matters.
In a project with a hundred open items, recognising immediately what sits on the critical path and what can wait – that is the capability you bring me in for. It does not come from methodology, but from twenty years in which I rarely had the same task twice.
AI is my tool. The judgement is mine.

If what you actually need is ongoing support
This site is for fixed-term engagements with clear responsibility. If instead you need someone to look after your IT permanently – operations, support, managed services, ongoing data protection – then falocon Ltd is the right address. The company is run by Leonie Franz; I work there part-time.
Listen first, then assess
In a first conversation we establish what the situation is and whether I am the right person. If I am not, I will say so – that saves us both time.
