Nice to meet you.
I AM BUILDING DIGITAL PRODUCTS SINCE 2010
Product Management always fascinated me due to its potential impact on the customer which makes it for me the most engaging and rewarding job function. With creativity and an entrepreneurial mindset, I am building delightful products that accelerate and inspire. Embracing customer centricity to deliver added value is what drives me to excellence. To empower fellow product people I co-founded Product Professionals the academy to train and certify product professionals.
