> about 5.000 business days of corporate work experience <
> with over 2.000 days in leadership positions <
Beginning with graduate studies in Management and Computer Science at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), where I earned a Dipl.-Kfm. Univ. with magna cum laude honors, my academic journey has been deeply rooted in the intersection of business and technology.
I pursued a Ph.D. in Entrepreneurship at WHU in Germany and the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland, where I also served as a lecturer and researcher. This was followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at UC Berkeley, in the heart of Silicon Valley, focusing on Cluster of Innovation research.
Professionally, I have held leadership roles at Amazon, Rossmann, Zooplus, Alibaba, and IU Group, as well as co-founding and advising startups, blending academic insights with hands-on experience in global corporate and entrepreneurial environments.
My degrees? Think of them as blueprints for solving tomorrow’s problems.
These experiences allowed me to bridge academic rigor with practical impact.
I have had the opportunity to work for and collaborate with a wide range of esteemed organizations across various industries on a project basis. This diverse experience has allowed me to gain insights into multiple fields and industries and transfer knowledge and heuristics. These include:
Airbus SE, ANTENNE BAYERN GmbH & Co. KG, Atreus GmbH, B&O Telekommunikation GmbH, Bott GmbH & Co. KG, CDTM (Center for Digital Technology and Management), Deutsche Post AG, Eisbach Group GmbH, Ewald Dörken AG, FinnMedi Oy, Fon Wireless Limited, GI Ventures AG, Group 3G/Quam, Jacobs University Bremen gGmbH, Mannesmann Precision Tubes GmbH, Pandion Partners GmbH, Pustet GmbH & Co.
