I work for companies that choose their actions based on a long-term vision, companies that balance gut decisions with diligent market research and companies that stand behind what they believe is good in demanding situations. These companies I provide 8 years of professional experience with people, technology and startups to create beautiful, sustainable products.

Tech-allrounder and former cave guide with 8 years of experience in products, brands and people.
What I'm looking for
A well-crafted product is the result of diligent market research and an applied gut feeling. I support companies in deciding when to use one or the other approach to forge wise business decisions. I acquired the knowledge to do so by co-founding a tech startup in a very tight market, building products for companies of all sizes as a self-employed product developer and by learning to communicate effectively and manage conflicts with empathy after working in the tourism and hospitality industry for 6 years. My highly diverse background makes me resilient and adaptive to new environments and as a digital native and avid tech enthusiast, I bring valueable experience to companies looking for a people person with leadership qualities and an applied technology background.
