15 years in 50+ companies
I’m a product leader with a strong bias for creation and enablement. I have 15+ years of experiences working with over 50+ companies across all industries, mainly start-ups and scale-ups. I spent valuable time at Project A Ventures as CPO, Rocket Internet as Product Manager and Co-Founder at Sonntagmorgen.
My mission is to level up the way we create products so they have more impact on the people using and the companies building it. I help companies with training product people, execute product jobs as interim lead, and share my product experience.
So, let’s make sure your product makes progress and the progress is learned.
I am a seasoned product leader with over a decade of hands-on experience across various sectors. I specialize in working with startups and scale-ups, often stepping into interim product leadership roles to drive product success. My approach is centered on coaching and empowering individuals and product teams to foster growth and development.
In the past years, I have expanded my reach to the educational sector, teaching product management at institutions like CODE University of Applied Sciences, Founders Foundations, and other accelerator programs. In addition to that, I coach product individuals and teams through challenging times.
I am driven by the thrill of solving complex problems and the satisfaction that comes from building environments of deep trust within teams. I strongly believe in the power of co-creation and enablement in a team setting as a way to achieve collective goals.
