An IT product manager & innovation consultant with experience in a variety of organisations, Benedikt is not only interested in the immediate application of innovations, but likes to put them into a larger context and see how they can shape the future of humanity.

Frantically interested in all things human, he has experience in political activism, econometric analysis, entrepreneurship, consulting, leading teams and projects in corporate and non-corporate environments and preparing a quite exquisite lemon chicken.

He is currently working as the Head of Product at Ulmon, where he oversees the product direction of the company and its 80 mobile application and manages a team of 10 developers, UX designers & analysts.

Previously he worked at the EMEA headquarters of Google in Dublin, where he worked in Product Quality and travelled the world to give Innovation and Design Thinking Workshops for Google executives and major Google clients.

Benedikt founded the NGO "Aspire - The Manufactory of change" with the aim of providing young people a platform for developing and kickstarting their own social initiatives and is a founding member of the Viennese hub of the Global Shaper Community of the World Economic Forum.
