Overview
My professional background is a blend between CX, IT Development & Business Development.
I currently work at one of the Financial Time’s „Leading Management Consultancies“ as well as Forbes „World’s Best Management Consultancy Firms„ Ogilvy Consulting as Senior Consultant for Digital Product Management and Senior Strategist (Customer Experience) in Germany for clients such as Ford. Previously, I founded and ran a three-person web development agency in the United Kingdom, and worked as Business Analyst for the New Business Development department at Sony Austria.
I have an M.Sc. in Business Management, having focused on Innovation & IT. Due to my Luxembourgian-German background, I speak five languages (German, English, Spanish, French, Turkish, decreasing levels of competence). I have published a few peer-reviewed academic articles and whitepapers, and am a strong believer in life-long learning.
