Strategic. Clear. Built to execute.
I am a graduate mathematician (Humboldt University Berlin, statistics) and have spent 20 years building, leading and selling digital organizations: as CDO & authorized signatory at Asambeauty — revenue from €2M to over €30M in under four years, acquisition by Ströer AG co-prepared —, as founder of Beauty Mates (200% average annual growth, profitable, exit to Grenion), and in interim mandates with full P&L responsibility.
Today I combine both: C-level experience and hands-on technology. I build AI-native software — my Shopify app Verve is live in the App Store, and behind the scenes an AI agent organization runs marketing, support and development autonomously. That combination is exactly what I bring to mandates.
Available for interim mandates (CDO / CTO / CMO) and selected projects. Full CV and references available on request.
