Ines Kaps, Queen of Projects
For more than 25 years, I have led complex programs and transformations where failure carries real consequences — financial, reputational, and strategic.
Today, I apply this experience in the defense and regulated sectors, where delivery is non-negotiable, and trust must be earned under pressure.
I am known as the Queen of Projects because I am called in when clarity, control, and credibility matter most. Not for theory. For execution in environments where decisions must be right the first time.
My work goes beyond frameworks and methodologies.
It is about restoring governance when complexity overwhelms structure, aligning demanding stakeholders with conflicting interests, and leading confidently within strict compliance environments.
From AQAP or GxP requirements to multinational coordination, I bring decisiveness, transparency, and calm authority to programs that cannot afford drift or ambiguity.
Defense projects demand trust.
That is exactly what I deliver.

Background
A turnaround expert for complex, global projects.
European by mindset and international by experience, I operate comfortably across cultures, hierarchies, and high-pressure environments where clarity and credibility are essential.
As Founder & CEO of Kaps Consulting, I specialise in stabilising failing initiatives and leading mission-critical transformations. My work combines analytical precision, strategic foresight, and the ability to build trust quickly with senior stakeholders — even when interests conflict and pressure is high.
I bring deep experience in digital transformation, backed by international investment board exposure, serial startup involvement, and leadership across more than 300 projects, with individual engagements of up to €25 million.
I am known for stepping in when projects drift, decisions stall, or complexity overwhelms structure — and for restoring direction, discipline, and delivery.
Pssst... I always have a Lindt chocolate in the fridge. 😉
