About

Product leadership with technical depth

I'm a product leader who speaks the language of engineers. AWS Solutions Architect (2017-2022), OpenStack Cloud Developer, MBA, and 18 years spanning engineering, architecture, and product leadership.

At BioNTech, I work with 35+ stakeholders across functions and collaborate directly with C-Suite members to deliver products that reduce manual effort by 25 hours per month per employee.

Previously at Phoenix Contact, I led product strategy that increased customer signups by 30%, reduced infrastructure costs by 30%, and accelerated feature development by 50%.

At Rackspace, I led a major OpenStack cloud initiative that became a signature achievement in my career—closing multi-million dollar deals and transforming cloud infrastructure delivery.

I hold an MBA, a Master of Science in Embedded Systems, and a Bachelor of Engineering—combining business acumen with deep technical expertise.
