Aachen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
I work at the intersection of people, technology, and business. As Head of Corporate Development & Strategic Partnerships at ModuleWorks, I focus on one core question: How do we ensure that innovation doesn’t stay in development, but actually reaches production? My role is to help shape how advanced manufacturing technologies move from R&D into real industrial use. This involves working across the ecosystem: CAD/CAM vendors, CNC machine tool builders, cutting tool manufacturers, and emerging technology companies. Through strategy, partnerships, and targeted investments, I help align the right players so new capabilities can scale across the manufacturing and digital dentistry industry. I’m particularly interested in cross-pollination of technology across domains using new partnership frameworks and turning complex technology into practical, scalable solutions. Ultimately, I believe progress in manufacturing technology happens when people connect, trust each other, and focus on making innovation real.
I operate at the intersection of strategy, partnerships, and execution in industrial software.

In addition, I am responsible for building new business in emerging and not yet fully defined markets - identifying opportunities, structuring partnerships, and translating early-stage potential into scalable business (e.g. digital dentistry as a new vertical). A key part of my role is aligning technology, business models, and stakeholders to turn advanced capabilities into real-world solutions. I work across functions and organizations to bring clarity to complex situations, define ownership, and ensure that strategy translates into execution.
