Summary
After a solid and profound education in the field of geoinformatics, I was able to deepen my knowledge in photogrammetry, GIS and digital imaging through postgraduate studies. Various stays in different countries during studies and jobs gave me the opportunity on learning on intercultural differences. With more than five years of leadership experience I proved to be able to manage teams and projects. An additional part-time further education in Business Administration "EMBA Digital Transformation" completes my profile and forms the basis for my current job in Product Management. Professional with substantial experience in guiding product development and driving market success. Adept at leveraging data-driven insights, leading cross-functional teams, and aligning projects with business goals. Strong focus on collaboration, flexibility, and delivering impactful results. Skilled in strategic planning, user experience optimization, and agile methodologies.
