What I'm looking for

I am a Senior Product Owner with over 9 years of experience in leading the development and execution of global E-Commerce and Omnichannel solutions. My expertise lies in managing cross-functional teams and building customer-centric digital products that align with user needs and business objectives. Currently, I lead a team of Product Owners at MediaMarktSaturn Technology, where I have successfully expanded platform operations across multiple countries and defined a customer-centric product vision.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong ability to optimize processes and enhance collaboration among teams. At ALDI SOUTH, I led product teams in delivering components of a headless commerce solution and rolled out omnichannel solutions to the US market. My focus on continuous improvement and mentorship has fostered a culture of accountability and ownership within my teams, ensuring the consistent delivery of high-quality results.
