Technology alone doesn't win markets. Bridging these worlds is what I do. I am a Dipl.-Ing. Electrical Engineering and senior manager with more than 25 years of international experience in portfolio, product, and project management across technology and electrical engineering industries. My deep technical expertise and systems-level understanding span Autonomous Systems, Software-Defined Vehicles, E-Mobility, Simulation and Validation Technologies, and Artificial Intelligence — combined with strategic thinking at the executive level. Among my key achievements: I built a world-leading end-to-end product portfolio for the development and validation of highly automated vehicles, played a key role in multiple company acquisitions from due diligence to post-merger integration, built an AI competency unit from scratch, and successfully led international cross-functional teams with direct and functional leadership responsibility. I believe technology only creates lasting impact when consistently thought through from the market's perspective. I thrive at the intersection of innovation, technology, and market — as an integrator, strategic driver, and leader. I am seeking a leadership, product, or project management role in a technology-driven environment — preferably with an international scope.
