In enterprise IT, much like in aviation, precision, compliance, and zero downtime are non-negotiable. That is why I excel at: 🛡️ Advanced M365 Security & Disaster Recovery · 🔒 Threat Protection & Email Security: Deploying Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and Office 365 to proactively block zero-day threats. Hardening email infrastructure with strict authentication protocols—including DMARC, DKIM, SPF, and MTA-STS—while implementing BIMI for verified brand identity. · 🔑 Identity & Access Governance: Engineering complex Conditional Access policies in Entra ID, implementing Privileged Identity Management (PIM), and strictly enforcing phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication (such as FIDO2 keys and Windows Hello for Business) to eliminate credential compromise. · 🚨 Disaster-Proofing & Emergency Access: Designing highly monitored, MFA-bypassed "break-glass" administrative accounts and robust disaster recovery protocols for absolute tenant control during critical outages. · 📊 Posture Management & Auditing: Continuously evaluating your Microsoft Secure Score, configuring retention for audit logs, and setting up automated alerts for anomalous administrative behaviors to ensure long-term compliance. ⚙️ Infrastructure Automation & Endpoint Management · 💻 Zero-Touch Deployment: Utilizing Microsoft Intune and Windows Autopilot for PC fleets, alongside seamless integration with Apple Business Manager for iOS/macOS management. This ensures strict compliance before any device connects to company resources. · ⚡ Scripting & Workflows: Leveraging PowerShell (including the Microsoft Graph API) for bulk tenant management, and building Power Automate workflows to replace manual business processes. ☁️ Microsoft 365 Architecture & Complex Migrations · 🏢 Tenant Strategy: Leading cross-tenant migrations, tenant consolidations post-merger, and designing scalable licensing architectures to eliminate redundancy and lower overhead costs. · 🗄️ Data Lifecycle Management: Establishing retention policies, sensitivity labels, and compliance perimeters to protect intellectual property and sensitive data. · 📄 As-Built Documentation: Delivering crystal-clear, as-built architecture documents, operational runbooks, and disaster recovery playbooks so your infrastructure is never a "black box." 🌐 SharePoint & Unified Communications · 🏗️ SharePoint Architecture: Designing hub-site topologies, building modernized intranet portals, and structuring complex permission inheritance and document governance models. · ☎️ Teams & Voice Routing: Full-scale Microsoft Teams collaboration design. Deploying and administering Teams Phone Systems, including complex call queues, auto-attendants, and direct routing configurations. 🛫 Let's connect. Do not wait until it is too late.

You're good at your job — but somewhere between where you are and where you want to be, something is stalling you. Maybe you're ready for the next level but unsure how to position yourself internally. Maybe you're weighing a career move and can't get out of your own head. Maybe you've just stepped into a leadership role and the playbook you had no longer works.That's exactly where I come in. I work with driven professionals navigating the moments that actually shape a career — promotions, transitions, high-stakes conversations, and the decisions that feel too important to get wrong. What our work looks like in practice: - Mapping out your promotion strategy with clear milestones and internal positioning - Preparing you for performance reviews, leadership conversations, or job interviews where the stakes are real - Working through career crossroads with structure — so you stop going in circles and start moving - Holding you accountable to the goals you set, week by week I'm a Key Account Manager at a global Fortune 500 company based in Switzerland, and I've lived and worked across Latin America for over a year. I speak five languages natively and have navigated firsthand what it means to build a career across cultures, geographies, and high-pressure corporate environments. I'm also completing my ICF ACC certification through Erickson Coaching International — one of the most rigorous coaching methodologies globally. What you won't get: Generic motivation. Vague frameworks. Advice disconnected from your actual context. What you will get: Clarity on what to do, what to say, and how to move forward — in whichever of our five shared languages feels most natural to you. Sessions are fully available in English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian. Ready to test the fit? I offer a free 30-minute discovery session. No pitch, no pressure — just an honest conversation about where you are and whether working together makes sense. Talk soon, Philipp
