About

Building and scaling products, product teams and ecosystems

I am a product-management leader with more than a decade of experience in the EdTech, classifieds, e-commerce and FMCG sectors. Throughout my career I have crafted high-impact product strategies, aligned cross-functional teams and delivered initiatives that drive sustainable, growth-orientated results.

I currently serve as Head of Product at Lingoda. Previously, as Director of Product at Go1, I led the post-acquisition integration, empowering senior leaders and strengthening collaboration across the organisation. Earlier, at mobile.de, I contributed to both the product-leadership acquisition team and the Online Buying (‘Online Kauf’) team, partnering with the executive group to define and build the company’s new online-buying department. These roles, together with additional in-house and consulting engagements, have equipped me with a broad, end-to-end perspective on product leadership and organisational growth.

What about the PhD

I hold a PhD in Organisational Behaviour and HR, with research focused on the integration of freelancers into organisations. Pursuing this PhD alongside my career in Product Management has been a passion project, enabling me to bridge academic insights with professional practice.

In my free time, I teach courses on Organisational Behaviour, HR, and Leadership at the ESCP Business School in its Berlin and Madrid campuses.

Connecting the dots

I take great pleasure in connecting the different facets of my career, allowing each to enrich the other. While my diverse profile often surprises others, I believe that passion drives energy and results. My aim is to bring a fresh perspective, combining practical experience and academic knowledge to create pragmatic, innovative solutions that deliver high-impact business outcomes.
