Meet the Queen of Projects: Ines Kaps
For more than 25 years, I have led complex programs and transformations across industries.
Today, I bring this expertise to the defense sector, where failure is not an option.
I am known as the Queen of Projects because I deliver when the stakes are highest.
- My strength lies in more than processes and frameworks –
It’s in building trust under pressure,
Aligning demanding stakeholders, and
Navigating strict compliance environments.
From AQAP requirements to multi-national coordination, I know how to keep defense projects moving forward with clarity, transparency, and resilience.
Defense projects demand trust. That’s exactly what I deliver.
