I have led platform and integration initiatives for global health and wellness brands, hotel technology ecosystems, and marketplace environments, translating business challenges into clear roadmaps, delivery plans, and live features.

This transformation contributed to Neurotone AI's acquisition. - Jay Shetty Genius (USA): Built onboarding and feature adoption through JTBD interviews and A/B testing. Built and managed an internal dev team. Managed migration of data and users to the new platform. - Marriott & Design Hotels (Germany): Integrated 100+ independent hotels into Marriott's global distribution ecosystem, leading onboarding, API integrations, usability testing, and training.

I help scaling companies ship better products, integrate complex systems, and build the operational backbone they need to grow. Fast, structured, and with zero ambiguity. As a Senior Product & Project Manager with 17+ years of leadership experience, an Executive MBA, and Six Sigma Green Belt certification, I operate at the intersection of business strategy and technical execution. I don't just manage tasks, I own outcomes.

Covering remote ops, digital marketing, AI workflows, and team leadership to scale the business across international markets. Why clients choose me: → I've managed products from first requirements doc to scaled production — across SaaS, FinTech, defense, and education. → I secure stakeholder alignment between C-suite, engineering, and international partners — including governmental bodies and military organizations. → I bring structure to chaos: whether it's a product roadmap, a cross-border integration, or a 150-person operation. Track record highlights: • Secured >€500,000 in pre-seed funding by translating technical SaaS roadmaps into investor-ready propositions • Led enterprise-wide digital transformation at the German Air Force Officer School (Blended Learning Framework) • +10 years as an Officer in the German Armed Forces — leading teams of 150+ in high-pressure, multinational environments • Founded InsightQuiz.de — a GDPR-compliant AI-powered quiz platform for corporate L&D teams Methodologies & Tools: Agile · Scrum · Kanban · Six Sigma · Lean | Jira · Asana · HubSpot · SAP ERP · Supabase · No-Code & AI tools Languages: German (Native) · English (Fluent) · French (Basic) Let's talk if you need someone who doesn't just plan, but delivers.

I build and design digital products for businesses that are serious about quality, and serious about results. Most projects fail not because of bad code or bad design, but because the two never spoke the same language. I eliminate that problem entirely. Strategy, design, and development all come from one place, with one vision, and one standard of excellence. || What sets me apart I've led cross-functional teams of designers and developers building products at a global scale. My past clients include billion-dollar companies like Adobe. I've shipped for platforms serving millions of monthly active users, won awards for startup design, and in my spare time I've taught UX/UI to over 40,000 students worldwide. I don't just execute I think about your business, your users, and your growth. || Where I specialize Design: Product & UI design for high-traffic, high-stakes platforms Brand identity and visual systems that command authority Full UX process, research, personas, user flows, testing & prototyping Conversion-focused design that performs as well as it looks Development: SaaS platforms and Agentic AI tools Custom B2B and B2C web applications High-performance websites via Framer, Webflow, Wix and beyond Post-launch SEO optimization || How I work I'm selective, and deliberately so. I only take on projects where I'm confident I can deliver something exceptional, and where the client has the same commitment to quality that I do. This isn't a volume game. Every project gets my full attention, from the first pixel to the final deployment. If you're scaling a product, launching something that needs to stand out, or simply tired of managing designers and developers who don't talk to each other, let's fix that.
