Your ad marks one skill advanced: prioritization. So this application opens with a Monday morning.

I am Ramona Furter, applying as Project Execution Senior Specialist at The Nest, Dubai Silicon Oasis. Schneider's Gulf hub is delivering the UAE's energy and data-centre build-out, and the skill you rank above all others is deciding what gets attention under load. That is the one I would rather show than claim: below is a worked Monday on a desk like yours, then the career behind it.

Ramona Furter

10+ yearsproduct, venture and growth leadership

CHF 100M+e‑commerce business owned at Ifolor

−30%time on sales at Swiss Post, through automation and AI

Three things land at 08:00. Only one gets me first.

Your ad asks for prioritization at advanced level, "managing competing demands across multiple projects and stakeholders", so instead of claiming it, here is a worked Monday on a Gulf execution desk. My order is committed below, sealed before you choose.

Worked example. The three projects are illustrative, assembled from Schneider Electric's published UAE work.

Which one would you take first?

Sealed before you pick: the factory slip at 08:15, the escalation call before 11:00, and a polite no to the free scope by 16:00. Choose a card and I will show the working.

I built this page and the plan on it myself, with the AI tools I use every day. They come with me.

The fit, including the honest part

Prioritization under load

Your only advanced-level requirement, and the reason this page opens with a Monday.

At Ifolor I owned a CHF 100M+ e‑commerce business with more good ideas than capacity every quarter; choosing the right ones returned +9% conversion and +15% checkout completion. At Swiss Post I turn open-ended AI opportunity into a prioritised roadmap with KPIs.

Customers who stay customers

Your ad calls it customer orientation; in practice it is who makes the uncomfortable call.

At Brixel I was the bridge between senior stakeholders at UBS and Baloise and the delivery team, and the difficult conversations were mine to have. At WePractice we built a base of 170+ recurring customers from zero.

Efficiency you can audit

Cost reduction while maintaining or improving delivery quality, with numbers attached.

At Swiss Post I cut time spent on sales by 30% through automation and AI, and cut proposal feedback loops by 90% with a pitch-check tool I built myself. Both figures are mine to defend in an interview.

The honest read

What I have not done, stated plainly.

I have never delivered an electrical or automation project; my execution record comes from digital products and ventures. The technology is your engineers' craft. What I bring is the discipline around it: budgets held, risks called early, customers told the truth at 10:30. I am based in Zurich, planning the move to Dubai with my partner, and available with notice.

The first 90 days, planned like a project

The live projects, the Customer Project Process as you actually run it, and the people at The Nest. No changes, full notes.

Days 15 to 45

Own the readout

The weekly execution readout across my projects: status, risk, financials, and one decision each week that saves cost without touching quality.

Days 46 to 90

Tighten the machine

AI where it pays on an execution desk: faster reporting, cleaner handovers. Every change is measured, and dropped if it does not pay.
