Marketing and Product Manager driving digital transformation and omnichannel growth.
What I'm looking for
I am a Marketing and Product Manager with over 14 years of experience leading digital transformation, omnichannel strategy, and customer experience across global automotive programs. I combine product roadmap ownership with marketing strategy to deliver measurable business outcomes.
At Volkswagen Group I led cross-functional teams, managed multimillion-euro budgets, and implemented agile delivery practices (SAFe) to improve efficiency and delivery quality. I defined OKRs, KPIs and dashboards to enable data-driven decisions and consistent brand execution across markets.
My work delivered clear results: approximately 5% budget efficiency gains, a 10% reduction in delivery costs through automation, 15% process simplification across markets, and a 5% increase in turnover per after-sales visit. I excel at stakeholder management, market rollouts and aligning business with technical strategy.
I seek roles where I can lead product and marketing initiatives, drive customer-centric solutions, and scale omnichannel platforms while mentoring teams and fostering cross-functional collaboration.
