About

As the EMEA Partner Development Manager for GSI, Data, AI/ML, and the DACH Partner Development Manager for GSI at Amazon Web Services (AWS), I have more than two years of experience in leading end-to-end innovation at scale, from idea generation to full-scale industrialization. I work with global system integrators, data and AI/ML partners, and start-ups to create and deliver cloud-based solutions that meet the needs and expectations of AWS customers across various industries and regions. With an MBA degree and certificates from Stanford and Berkeley on social justice, empathy, and happiness, I am passionate about using innovation and technology for positive social impact. I have published a book on governance best practices for public sector institutions, NGOs, and corporations, and I am a mentor at Startup Lisboa, an incubator that supports the development and growth of entrepreneurs and start-ups in tech, commerce, and tourism. I also have skills in new business development, marketing communications, and key account management, and I speak English and German fluently.
