Jens Fraterman is a Project Manager HR Digitalization at Volkswagen Group based in Hannover-braunschweig-göttingen-wolfsburg Region, Germany, Europe. As an experienced project manager and transformation expert, I am shaping the digital future at Volkswagen Group – currently in the area of HR digitalization. In this role, I drive strategic projects that advance the digital transformation of HR processes, laying the foundation for a future-oriented workplace. My focus is on leveraging technological innovations such as artificial intelligence and automation to enhance employee experience and operational efficiency. Previously, I was part of the strategic transformation program “North Star”, initiated by Murat Aksel as Volkswagen Group CPO. As a member of a select team of experts, I was responsible for “People” and “Digital” topics, with the goal of maintaining Volkswagen Group’s position as the world’s leading purchasing organization. This involved attracting top talents and fostering digital excellence within procurement. Before that, I successfully established the Center of Excellence (CoE) for Digital Process Automation in the Volkswagen Group’s procurement division. Together with my team, I implemented more than 20 robotic process automation (RPA) solutions, achieving significant efficiency gains. Additionally, I focused on applying machine learning and artificial intelligence in innovative software projects to optimize processes sustainably. Earlier in my career, I contributed to strategic initiatives that combined new business models with disruptive technologies such as machine learning and virtual reality. Since joining Volkswagen in 2015 as a project manager for Group Procurement, I have led various key projects driving transformative change. My career began in management consulting: As the founder of Telos Eleven GmbH and an independent consultant, I advised leading companies on strategic supply chain and procurement topics. I successfully led international projects in China, Russia, and Brazil. My vision: Transformation succeeds when people, strategy, and innovation seamlessly intersect. With passion, I strive to strengthen this connection in every role I take on and contribute to shaping a sustainable, digital future.
