I've always been passionate about understanding the complex, getting an overview, learning to take things apart, debugging ideas, applying the acquired, and assembling the new.

I love Tech, the processes underlying it, and the people creating it. I am constantly seeking the challenge, building a vision and aiming for success - while learning from my failures

After years in programming and working with data, I joined the dark side of product management while working at xing.com, the German professional network. Here I gained and trained a new set of skills and learned to love to challenge myself, my team, my peers, and my superiors.

After years in product and leadership as CPO at MyHammer and then VP Product at the InstaproGroup (MyHammer, Werkspot, MyBuilder, Travaux, Instapro) I now serve as Chief Technology and Product Officer (CTPO) at AroundHome.

I am a fundamental believer in empowering diverse cross-functional teams and lean and agile methodologies. Joel Spolsky, Eric Ries, Melissa Perri, Teresa Torres, Marty Cagan and Simon Sinek have greatly influenced my thinking and doing.

If you want to work with me, feel free to contact me via LinkedIn or XING.com.

I enjoy building products our customers love by focussing on lean solutions with a keen eye on data-driven development and lean UX.

I remain to be a Linux enthusiast, a Mac user, techie at heart, hobby linguist, amateur philosopher, and scientific wannabe.

I hold a Masters degree in English Literature, Mass Communication and Computer Science.
