About

I offer broad technical & business & user understanding combined with very high analytical and conceptual skills. My interest in digital topics started in teenage years where I build home electricity, managed phone systems & networks and started programming building Window-like GUIs & Games and later smart home solutions. Professional programming started at the age of 16 as a holiday and part-time job with database and web applications. During studies this evolved into consulting for small offices & companies concerning all digital topics (infrastructure, network, phone systems, but also processes, paperless office...) - always focusing on innovative business and user benefits driven by technology. All jobs build on these interests and helped broaden my understanding of all adjacent areas: product management, web technologies, digital marketing, technical interfaces and integrations, product portfolio strategy, analytics, data strategy, conversion optimization through targeting and testing, data based business and digital transformation. The solid experience in all these topics combined with my business orientation is my major strength.   I love new complex challenges and finding efficient solutions in close collaboration with colleagues from various specialties. In a trusted relationship I like developing solutions in an agile approach, appreciate some freedom in my work and a team of intrinsicly motivated people with a joint goal.
