Executive Coach (ex-CPO Doodle, previously Doodle & Contentful)

I believe that great products aren't just the result of good code or smart roadmaps—they are the result of psychological safety, radical clarity, and courageous leadership. When you fix the team dynamics, the product metrics follow.


I currently serve as the CPO at Ringier Media Switzerland, where I have the privilege of leading product strategy and scaling our operations across a multi-brand portfolio. My day-to-day is focused on navigating the complex intersection of business goals, user needs, and team performance. I don't just manage products; I engineer the ecosystems that build them.


I am deeply passionate about the psychology of leadership and excel in systems thinking. I write and speak frequently about the messy reality of scaling companies and the frameworks I use to navigate it.
