About Annette Luzius
Over the past ten years, I have led innovation and growth initiatives within a technology-driven industrial environment.My experience spans engineering, commercialization, and corporate development, enabling me to connect technical depth with strategic execution. I focus on translating emerging technologies into scalable business impact and aligning innovation efforts with long-term growth priorities. In recent years, I have led venture evaluation and strategic partnership initiatives, engaging with 200+ startups and helping shape a $30M+ corporate venture portfolio within a €4.5B global industrial organization. I work closely with executive leadership to assess build vs. buy decisions, pressure-test growth assumptions, and translate market and technology signals into structured action. I am particularly interested in how emerging technologies, AI, and evolving financial and industrial infrastructure reshape traditional industries and unlock new business models. Currently pursuing an Executive MBA with a concentration in entrepreneurship.
