Summary
The shift to more sustainable mobility repeatedly motivates me in my long-standing work in charging infrastructure. My quick comprehension and self-taught approach allow me to deliver convincing results in projects with various focuses. I concentrate on developing IT-supported products and services in agile projects. As a project manager or product owner, I handle requirements management and solution development together with the development team. For mediation between customers and stakeholders on one side and developers on the other, both my detailed understanding and my experience in the charging infrastructure market from multiple perspectives help me.
