Today is a special day for me. It is with great joy and pride that I hold my TOP 100 INTERIM certificate in my hands, which was awarded to me by the Bundesvereinigung Mittelstand in Deutschland (BVMID). This award is not only a recognition of my achievements to date, but also an incentive for future challenges, as it is awarded by a customer organization.
As an interim CIO and C-level expert for IT, OT, data analytics and data-driven management decisions, I have accompanied numerous companies in their digitalization and digital transformation in recent years [source: 3].
