I join forces with corporate innovators
co-creating digital business and designing innovation programs utilizing my entrepreneurial toolkit & mindset
Being an entrepreneur since 10 years,
I specialized in executing digital innovation from scratch, turning rough ideas into impact (products, services, programs, strategies or business models.
Without blushing I can say that I´m a battle-tested digital entrepreneur, experienced in all aspects of this playground. Mainly these are project and product management, digital marketing, customer development and business development.
Against all odds, I have built and established digital companies that changed industries or were integrated into large organizations.
When the company I was CEO of got acquired by a Fortune500, I also grew to be an intrapreneur. Since then, I joined forces with established organizations in different positions.
Doing so, I developed my own, very pragmatic way of using innovation methods like Design Thinking, Lean Startup, the Business Model Canvas (amongst others), Scrum & Kanban, Google Sprints and others to increase the speed of the customer, product, and business development & the quality of its output.
I love to co-create programs, projects, and trainings. Maybe next time together with you?

my working ethos as intrapreneur and entrepreneur
as an entrepreneur I follow these three principles I learned during the battles I fought
Lean.
I believe in lean structures and processes to empower self-organization and decision making.
I don´t like administrative bureaucracy, I don´t like wasting time in endless meetings and I do not work on detailed presentations and concepts that nobody reads.
Rapid.
I believe in rapid time-to-market to make mistakes early and learn fast.
I don´t like to wait around, I test hypothesis as fast as I can and I re-work concepts when necessary – at any stage of the project.
Collaborative.
I believe in transparent collaboration with customers as well business partners and experts.
I learned to consult users at the beginning of a project and I love to work with my ever-growing network. Common goals equal win-win situations.
