Andreas Fox · Programme & Product Leadership

Millfox is my company; my name is Andreas Fox. If you are reading this, you are probably checking who you are dealing with. So let me put it up front: you talk to me, and the contract runs through Millfox GmbH.

I am a programme and product manager. I have worked for myself since 2011, and before that eleven years in the line at a network operator, latterly with 30 people and 150 development projects a year. The engagements since then have been in telecommunications, media, automotive and financial services.

What clients engage me for

I come into initiatives that have grown beyond what one project manager can carry. Three shapes:

• Programme management. Several projects feed one goal. I hold the plan, the budget and the reporting line in one place.
• Product ownership. I decide what gets built, and I lead the teams who build it.
• Interim leadership. A leadership role for a fixed term, with line responsibility.

When the engagement needs more than one person

I take the engagement myself. Where a client needs more hands than that, I put the team together from senior freelancers I have worked with over the years — I know how they work before I propose them. I have been a partner in the Outvise freelancer network since 2016.

Pirion

Pirion is what I would have wanted in every programme I ran. It is an operating model for projects and programmes and the software that runs it: templates that say what a project has to state about itself, rules that set the status from the records, and an AI agent that writes the record with the people doing the work.

It is a SaaS product, built by a team. I wrote the operating model and I lead the product.
