Hi,

I'm mentoring product managers and leaders at scale-ups and corporates to grow!
I have a fixed mentoring format: The mentee brings exactly 1 problem, I listen and ask questions to help mentee to reflect on problem.

I am leading the purchaser product group on the wlw.de and europages.com platforms as Head of Product, matching the needs of millions of B2B buyers and sellers. I'm driving the strategy and leading product managers, product designers and data scientists in my product group.

I have been shaping digital teams and products for nearly 20 years: I started as a designer during Germany's dotcom era (2001-2003), studied business and am a self-taught developer. In my past jobs I wore many hats, from COO to education lead for the packaging industry and digital marketeer to NGO CEO. I was a freelancing developer and IT project manager alongside my main jobs for many years. I love to translate between tech and business and have a strong drive to ship and learn from data and users.

I am currently only mentoring people who are already product managers and product leaders in scale-ups and corporates. This is where I have the best experience and can contribute best.

⚠️ I'm not a good fit If you are considering a product career, searching for matching companies or are already in the application process. You can find a lot of better fitting mentors on this platform.
