Summary
I combine senior product leadership with hands-on technical execution — product strategy and shipped code, not slide decks.
I do two things: → Fractional CPO — product strategy, roadmaps, discovery, and team coaching for startups and scaleups. I embed as your product leader 1-5 days/week. → AI-native product builds — full-stack development using AI tooling to ship at 3-5x the speed of traditional teams.
Track record: 4 startups co-founded. Ziggma (35K users, 1.5B EUR linked assets), DeRisk (institutional clients managing 1.5T+ EUR), Digital Partners (27 projects incl. Porsche, Viessmann, Koerber). MSc Finance & Investments, RSM Erasmus (Cum Laude). 8+ years product leadership in fintech.
Based in Berlin. Available for remote, hybrid, or on-site engagements.
