Projekthistorie
- Led comprehensive market and customer research in the financial sector for self-employed individuals and small businesses, including analyzing customer behavior and needs, and developing informed recommendations for a new business and product strategy.
- Developed an innovative product offering for cooperative banks through analyzing existing operational challenges, crafting a data-driven product concept with clear competitive advantages, and winning three bank partners for collaborative prototype development and business model refinement with my pitch.
- Conducted strategies to revitalize existing accounting solutions turning customer attrition to growth while also halving operational costs. Identified and validated cross-selling potentials through experiments, then realised them with targeted marketing campaigns and the integration of new products.
- Led the agile development of an innovative financial app for freelancers from ideation to release on the app store in just 3 months (company record).
- Gave teams and stakeholders strategic orientation and comprehensible targets in the highly complex Taxation & Reporting environment by collecting and investigating relevant obligations, market standards and customer needs, identifying and evaluating corresponding opportunities, as well as deriving strategic architectural enhancements, products and roadmaps from it.
- Led the discovery of several new tax-optimising solutions to solve underlying customer problems by performing market and customer analysis, solution designs as well as value, feasibility, usability and viability validations. Launched several related products and/or releases.
- Liberated over 750.000 European customers of their tax-related worries through high-quality tax reports serving as a ready-made basis for their tax returns - simple, timely, and cost-free. Reliably managed the whole product lifecycle and related teams from initial implementation and launch to continuous improvement and scaling by defining vision, strategy and related roadmaps.
- Increased TAM by over 75m customers by leading and supporting expansion into new European markets end-to-end from discovery over delivery to go-live. Led the first expansion into a foreign country (Austria), whose approach later served as the blueprint for subsequent European expansions.
- Ensured a successful launch in France by discovering, delivering, and launching the capability to integrate, operate, and offer funds from multiple different fund providers as well as ensuring the timely integration of several hundred relevant funds before launch.
- Led multiple cross-functional initiatives and product teams of up to 6 people using Scrum/Kanban. Built trusting relationships with external stakeholders and all internal functions. Communicated upwards effectively.
