Steve Rauei s an industry expert on project, programme and portfolio management. For over a decade he has consulted and taken positions in international cooperations and public institutions, driving their strategic transformation and digitalisation through projects. Growing up in the Berlin metropolitan area, Germany, and with stations in the USA, Ireland and Sweden, he has always had a passion for looking at organisations from a communicative, cultural perspective. With a doctorate in complex, cross-cultural project management, his fascination for a systemic and communications-based view on how people organise business and private life is a major part of his work.
