Project / Programme Delivery
End-to-end delivery across the full lifecycle — from initial brief and business case through PoC, MVP, iterative releases and full-scale rollout, to handover into stable operations. Experienced in managing scope, budget, timeline, risk and quality across complex multi-stakeholder environments. Leads cross-functional and geographically distributed teams, coordinates internal and external contributors; C-suite reporting. Methodologies: Agile (Scrum, Kanban), stage-gate, hybrid, waterfall.

Product Ownership
Full product ownership from discovery through delivery and beyond: user research, problem framing, opportunity assessment, roadmap and backlog ownership, feature definition and prioritisation, requirements management, sprint planning, acceptance criteria and measurable outcomes. Experienced in steering product through MBOs and organisational change. Track record: MVP delivered in 4 months, adopted by staff from top DAX corporations.

Digital Transformation
Designing and steering transformation programmes that produce real change — not slide decks. Business analysis, process mapping, use-case and business case development, solution design, vendor evaluation and selection, partner management and implementation steering. Specific experience in retail (dm, Migros), healthcare (NHS), media and publishing (ProSiebenSat.1, Handelsblatt) and industrial manufacturing (Jakob Müller Group) — with a consistent focus on pragmatic, executable solutions.

Regulated & Complex Environments
Delivery where compliance, governance and documentation are non-negotiable: NHS information governance, NIST Level 3 compliance, GDPR-aligned design, requirements traceability, design control and audit readiness. Hands-on experience in UK healthcare (NHS, Nuffield Health — 100,000+ frontline staff, 70 hospitals, compliance rates lifted to nearly 100%), cloud infrastructure under formal compliance frameworks, and Hollywood-certified content delivery systems.

Platforms & Technology
Broad working knowledge across the technology landscape: SaaS development and operations, AI/ML-enabled products (visual AI, governance automation, 3D scanning), IoT and Industry 4.0 (remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, connected manufacturing), OTT/VOD streaming, RFID and smart labelling, cloud infrastructure migration, API integration and operating model design. Not a developer — a product and delivery leader who speaks the language and challenges the technical team when needed.

Entrepreneurship & Ventures
Co-founded and exited two ventures: Acetrax (Europe's first direct-to-TV streaming service, acquired by Sky 2012) and Music2You (Europe's largest white-label digital music platform at Siemens, acquired by IMImobile 2009). Currently active as Strategic Lead and board member at Diligram AG and ScanSoles AG. Experienced in the full arc from concept to exit — plus MBO management (Handelsblatt ada Learning) and M&A integration (Acetrax/Sky).
