Outcome-driven product and process, at the intersection of strategy & operations.

I own end-to-end business processes and build the products that make them scale — across D2C/e-commerce, operations and supply chain. Twelve years re-engineering global workflows (ERP, fulfilment, omnichannel), defining process governance and KPIs across EU markets.

Building something where product and operations have to ship together?

I'm based in Berlin and open to Global Process Owner and Senior / Lead Product roles across the EU. Happy to talk process design, ops, or how AI tools change the prototyping loop.
