Berlin, Berlin, Germany
I build and transform product organizations at the intersection of technology and markets — developing teams and processes into systems that deliver measurable customer and business value. My career spans two distinct worlds: scaling product functions inside global corporations like Royal Philips and Lumileds, and building 0→1 product organizations inside high-growth tech startups like relayr (acquired by Munich Re for $300M). Across both, I've consistently delivered at the intersection of technology innovation and commercial impact. What I do best: - Lead and develop high-performing product organizations (up to 50+ FTE across Product, Design, Engineering, Data Science, Domain Experts and Product Marketing) - Build and launch AI & IoT-powered products from idea to enterprise scale - Drive business model transformation — from hardware manufacturing to SaaS and as-a-service models - Manage global P&L portfolios (up to $600M) with a sharp focus on growth, margin and customer value I hold certifications in AI Product Management (Duke University), Functional Safety (TÜV Rheinland), Scrum and Six Sigma, and I'm passionate about the future of industrial AI, predictive systems and customer-centric product thinking. Based in Berlin. Fluent in German and English, learning Italian.
