I lead digital product management at orise with a background in engineering. My focus is on creating and scaling products that combine Industrial IoT and Industrial AI to deliver measurable impact in industrial operations. I guide products from concept to market launch, working closely with engineering, marketing, and sales to ensure a smooth go-to-market process. I stay close to customers, gathering insights on their needs and challenges, and use these to shape product strategy and roadmaps. By integrating Industrial IoT technologies such as OPC UA and MQTT with AI solutions like virtual sensors, anomaly detection, and predictive maintenance, I help transform raw industrial data into actionable insights. This approach ensures products are both technically robust and aligned with real-world use cases. Technology is both my profession and my personal interest. I explore emerging tools and maintain my technical skills to stay close to what is possible and bring the right innovations into our products.
