Enterprise Transformation • Agile Ways of Working • AI Enablement

My mission is to help organizations turn transformation into impact — by strengthening the way organizations lead, collaborate, learn, and deliver value on time.

With more than 10 years of experience in enterprise transformation in corporate environments and over 22 years of experience in software development, quality assurance, and product organization, I bring together deep technological understanding, practical transformation experience, and a strong commitment to enabling people and organizations to grow in sustainable ways.

Today, I also support organizations in developing AI strategies, identifying meaningful use cases and workflows, and enabling leaders and teams to apply AI in ways that are practical, relevant, and useful in everyday work.

What Organizations Gain

Organizations that work with me gain more than support with methods or frameworks. They gain stronger conditions for business performance, better execution, and more sustainable change.

  • Clearer priorities and stronger strategic focus

  • Better alignment between strategy and operational delivery

  • Faster, better-informed decision-making in complex environments

  • More effective collaboration across teams, roles, and stakeholders

  • Practical adoption of agile ways of working that improves business outcomes

  • Improved time to market without compromising quality

  • AI readiness linked to real business needs and measurable value

My focus is on helping organizations create the conditions that improve execution, strengthen collaboration, accelerate learning, and turn ideas into tangible business value.

Enterprise Transformation

Supporting organizations in complex corporate environments to shape transformation journeys, create clearer direction, and strengthen execution through practical structures, alignment, and capability building.

Helping leaders, teams, and product organizations introduce and strengthen agile ways of working in a practical and business-relevant way, with a focus on collaboration, prioritization, flow, and continuous improvement.

Lean Portfolio Management and Governance

Designing portfolio and governance structures that improve transparency, strengthen prioritization, and create a stronger link between strategic decisions and operational delivery.

Supporting organizations in developing an AI strategy, identifying valuable use cases, and enabling leaders and teams to apply AI effectively through practical learning formats and change-oriented support.

At ÖBB Infrastruktur AG, I supported the introduction of Lean Portfolio Management and governance structures that improved visibility of priorities and investments and strengthened the connection between strategic decision-making and operational execution.

Structuring transformation in a federal corporate environment

At ÖBB Business Competence Center, I helped shape the transformation through a shared target picture, a clear roadmap, leadership enablement, and value stream analysis, contributing to stronger alignment, better orientation, and more effective execution.

Creating structure for scaled collaboration

At cargo-partner, I worked with business stakeholders and decision-makers to define the transformation roadmap, identify the first value stream, establish the first Agile Release Train, and improve alignment and execution through PI Planning and clearer product structures.

Anchoring new ways of working internationally

At Schneider Electric, I supported the agile transformation by improving role clarity, prioritization, leadership support, and learning formats, helping the organization embed new ways of working more sustainably.

At SynerGIS, I structured the organization’s development through a clear target picture, a roadmap, root-cause analysis, and a tailored Flight Levels and Lean Portfolio approach, helping improve transparency, collaboration, and decision-making.

Building capability through training and enablement

Across corporate transformation settings, I have trained well over 1,000 people in both official certification courses and custom-designed learning formats. I have also developed organization-specific training programmes and delivered them directly for clients, all over Europe.

About Almudena

I was born in Spain and have lived and worked for many years in Germany and across different European contexts. Working across cultures has shaped the way I approach transformation: with curiosity, clarity, respect for different perspectives, and a strong belief that sustainable change depends on people, not only on frameworks.

My professional path combines deep experience in technology with a lasting passion for Lean, Agile, organizational learning, and leadership development. Over the years, I have worked with teams, leaders, and organizations in complex environments, helping them build stronger ways of collaborating, learning, and delivering value.

Today, I also bring AI into this work by supporting organizations in shaping practical AI strategies, building AI readiness, and helping people use AI in ways that are meaningful, realistic, and useful in everyday work.

I care deeply about learning, growth, and helping people and organizations move forward in ways that are both effective and sustainable.
