About

As an physicist and engineer, I love to make new discoveries and bring them to market as innovations. I am enthusiatic about new technical solutions especially for future green mobility. As an Innovation and Business Development Manager I am even more fascinated by inspiring and creative people with different ideas, perspectives and backgrounds. There is nothing more exciting than driving innovation and strategies forward with such people.
