Munich, Bavaria, Germany
I am passionate about building and growing industrial software businesses at the intersection of technology, customer value and organizational leadership. Over the last years, I have been leading global product organizations in the industrial software and smart infrastructure space, focusing on platform transformation, AI-enabled operations and the evolution from traditional on-premise systems towards modern cloud- and edge-based architectures. What motivates me most is combining business growth, product strategy and empowered teams to create meaningful impact for customers in mission-critical environments. Throughout my career, I have worked across complex international organizations and product portfolios, balancing short-term market needs with long-term platform strategy and sustainable innovation. My background in industrial design and business strategy shaped my strong belief that successful technology transformation starts with deeply understanding customer needs, operational realities and human-centered value creation. As a leader, I strongly believe in trust, transparency and ownership. I care deeply about building high-trust international teams where people can collaborate openly, grow and perform at their best — even in globally distributed environments. I am particularly excited about the future of AI-enabled operational systems, industrial software platforms and smart infrastructure ecosystems, where technology, business transformation and human-centered leadership increasingly come together.
