About

I bring over 20 years of building and scaling multidisciplinary software & product development teams—primarily in automotive OEMs—bridging regulatory-complexity (ISO 26262, ASPICE), global collaboration, and product strategy. 🔹 Led software teams within high-impact programs (> €100M), taking products from concept through mass production at scale 🔹 Created scalable roadmap-driven development, balancing innovation, cost, and quality 🔹 Expert in regulated environments, cross-border integration, and stakeholder alignment across engineering, R&D, sales, and marketing 🔹 Calm in escalation—adept at resolving conflicts and steering teams through ambiguity or pressure I thrive empowering international, multicultural teams, guiding them toward shared vision and sustainable success. Transitioning from automotive to renewable energy is a deliberate shift toward purpose-driven innovation—I’m passionate about contributing to the clean tech transformation and product excellence in e-mobility, solar, storage, and utility-scale solutions.
