Summary
As an enthusiastic product professional, I have been working for 14 years as a Product Manager, Product Owner, and Head of Product, often taking on tasks as an Agile Coach in industries such as e-commerce, retail, internet technology, and construction/energy management. User-centered product development in agile, cross-functional teams is second nature to me, as is communication with stakeholders up to C-level. I am experienced with products at all stages of the product lifecycle and have successfully guided transitions to modern, maintainable software multiple times. Applying and optimizing agile, efficient processes is a matter of course for me.
As an independent Product Coach & Consultant, I help companies and product teams develop products that their customers will love. I support them during Product Discoveries, advise on the implementation of agile methodologies, assist with the setup of product management structures, and help introduce a roadmap process.
