I help organizations turn complexity into clarity — and bold ideas into working solutions.With over a decade of experience in product, IT strategy, and entrepreneurship – and a background in physics – I work at the intersection of business, technology, and purpose. Whether advising clients at BCG Platinion, founding ventures, or building digital platforms, I bring structure, momentum, and meaning to every challenge I take on.How I work• I think like a physicist – breaking problems down to what really matters• I build like a product leader – creating practical, scalable systems• I care like a founder – with energy, empathy, and long-term visionWhat I’ve done• Led multi-team product strategy in public sector, mobility, and insurance• Designed IT operating models & GenAI concepts at scale• Co-founded an art-tech marketplace and a non-profit that raised money for education• Built software, teams, and roadmaps across startups and state-owned enterprises• MSc in Physics @ TUM (graph-based neural networks), HBS CORe (High Honors)• Studied mathematics early through a gifted student programAnd one more thing:In 2023, I became the 15th German to row across the Atlantic – km powered by grit, teamwork, and a mission to raise funds for education.If you’re solving something ambitious – especially something that feels just out of reach – I’d love to connect.
