Zusammenfassung

I specialize in digital transformation, IT security, and AI/ML integration, with a track record of delivering measurable results across banking, aviation, telecom, and technology sectors. My approach combines strategic planning with hands-on execution—whether leading AI-driven fraud reduction at N26, optimizing cloud infrastructure at Microsoft, or driving revenue growth at Lufthansa.

I have deep experience in product discovery, agile delivery, and cross-functional team leadership, consistently improving efficiency and reducing costs. My work in AI-powered mental health solutions and computer vision demonstrates my ability to innovate and scale new technologies.

With an Executive MBA from TUM and leadership training from Harvard, I bring both technical and business acumen to every engagement, focusing on operational excellence, process optimization, and sustainable growth.
