As a startup founder and experienced CPTO, I break silos by empowering organizations to seamlessly integrate product and technology while enabling leadership teams to cultivate a culture of interdisciplinary collaboration. As an interim manager or advisor, I help companies bridge the gap between technical excellence, agile product development, and impactful leadership.

I have founded and led the startups Buddybrand (digital agency) and BuzzBird (marketplace) and have built corporate business units for Voith (IoT) and edding (SaaS).

Based in Berlin, I have extensive experience and prefer to work with international organizations – mostly but not limited to remote environments. I am also a speaker, blogger, and book author.
