Martin Kallenbach’s Summary

I provide leadership in complex global IT Service environments.

I link business, technology and people from different cultures. I like to enable communication across borders, understand different interests and structures to evolve them for the benefit of the whole.

My experiences are from application development as well as IT service management and delivery; I have successfully managed international teams and delivered on complex projects. I have developed six sigma supported ITIL processes and state of the art CMMI development processes.

I coach and evolve people's talent and I can moderate tense team dynamics.

I'm at home in different places.

I can see the full picture, and I do not panic.
