Product Lead building partner ecosystems and data platforms at global scale.
GermanyWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Product Lead and product leader with 10+ years of experience driving partner-facing product strategy, complex integrations, and data platform development at scale. I translate company strategy into partner-ready capabilities that drive adoption and ecosystem growth.
At Spotify, I own partner ecosystem product strategy across global platform integrations with Google, Amazon, Meta, Samsung, and OpenAI—turning platform ambitions into concrete partner offerings. Most recently, I lead AI-powered off-platform experiences, partnering directly with Gemini, Alexa, Meta AI, ChatGPT, and Samsung to define and launch agentic product experiences across diverse device ecosystems.
My work is deeply hands-on across APIs, large-scale analytics systems, and data infrastructure. I’ve led integration quality and reliability across partner platforms, navigated complex technical constraints, and set realistic expectations by influencing engineering priorities to deliver durable integrations at scale.
I also build the data foundations partners need to make better decisions. From Spotify’s self-serve data mechanisms and observability improvements to my AWS migration work at idealo (60% adoption within the first year), I focus on scalable pipelines, faster analytics access, and measurable outcomes—like improving engagement to 175M monthly active users and reducing analytics tooling bottlenecks by 30%.
