His ability to set and achieve ambitious goals has been crucial to the success of numerous projects. Communication is one of Johannes’s strongest assets. He has ability to convey ideas clearly and facilitate collaboration among team members and with clients.
Johannes is client focused. He has a unique talent for challenging and inspiring the team. He fosters a positive and creative work environment, encouraging team members to think outside the box and push the boundaries of what is possible. His positive attitude and innovative mindset have led to the development of creative solutions that have benefited our projects and client.
Johannes is a tenacious worker and great collaborator. He was always willing to listen to the challenges different groups were facing and did whatever it took to help overcome those challenges. I will truly miss working with him and having him on my side. I wish him the best in his future endeavors and wherever he goes, he will be an asset.
I had the pleasure of working closely with Johannes, and I can confidently say that he is an exceptional project manager. Johannes combines professionalism with an (almost personal) commitment to getting the best out of his team, thus creating opportunities for project and client.
One of Johannes's qualities is his ability to navigate tough negotiations with a focus on achieving win-win outcomes, fostering long-term partnerships and mutual respect.
Johannes is truly internationally oriented, seamlessly managing projects across different cultures and time zones.
Johannes makes a real difference for both his team and his clients, and I highly recommend Johannes for any project management role.
Johannes was with us in a very difficult time in several projects and helped us to get them back on track. During his stay with us Johannes very quickly learned about our products, systems and services. He was very dedicated and focused on Project management. We were very satisfied with the results of the projects he managed.
Johannes is a driven project manager with a strong focus on the common goal that benefits both supplier and customer. As a customer, it has been very positive to work with Johannes as he is easy to have discussions with, transparent and is solution oriented.
When Johannes started at Kapsch TrafficCom, he took over the position of Global Project Manager for an international project of high importance to the group. The project was in a very challenging situation, and Johannes gradually improved its financial position by leading negotiations with the customer. This resulted in an agreement that became the baseline for both successful delivery and a financial turnaround. I recommend Johannes as a Project Manager, especially for complex and financially challenging projects.
Johannes ability to facilitate and support his team is truly remarkable, creating an environment where everyone feels valued and empowered. His positivity is contagious, and it significantly contributes to a productive and harmonious work atmosphere.
Besides the overall program management experience, one of Johannes’s standout skills is his expertise in commercial management. His ability to navigate complex commercial landscapes, coupled with his strategic thinking, has consistently delivered exceptional results.
