About

I am a growth-oriented leader with over 20 years of experience driving significant growth and profitability within high-tech and digital organizations. My expertise encompasses scaling companies with established product-market fit into new international markets, consistently surpassing expectations in high-growth environments, most recently within private equity-backed businesses. I am proud to have grown EasyPark Austria (by Arrive) constantly by 60% in revenue over the last three years. My strategic impact is further defined by a strong record in Public Affairs, specializing in effective engagement and negotiation with governmental organizations and municipalities—a critical strength for platform businesses operating in regulated urban environments. I possess a strong track record in all phases of Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A), from initial deal sourcing and negotiation through the critical stages of migration and integration of acquired entities. I have also gained significant experience through contributing to the integration of large acquisitions, navigating subsequent organizational and cultural transformations, and successfully incorporating diverse business models, including the integration of a hardware-focused company with a digital platform business. A key strength lies in my ability to build and inspire high-performing teams and implement scalable strategies while fostering a positive and effective culture. My exceptional interpersonal and communication skills enable me to effectively navigate complex situations, build strong stakeholder relationships, and consistently deliver outstanding outcomes.
