      Born to drive crazy “sports” cars, forced to transform their industry ready for the sustainable & profitable future.

      Born in the northern part of germany, destined to be a little rebel. Raised across the globe, absorbing the best the world has to offer.

      I took my first steps in the realm of state politics in Lower Saxony, where I learned the art of leadership and governance.

      Venturing into the financial cosmos at Norddeutsche Landesbank, I decoded the mysteries of finance and expanded my horizons with a degree in economics. My journey then took me to Volkswagen Group, where I revolutionized automotive financial and mobility services at Volkswagen Financial Services.

      Today, as the Director at Deloitte Consulting, I wield my expertise in automotive finance and mobility services with a vision to shape the future of the industry. With a blend of past industry knowledge, entrepreneurial spirit, and unyielding passion, I am here to forge new paths and redefine the landscape of automotive mobility.

      Product marketing is like the old game show “Name That Tune”. The goal is to find the compelling benefit and get the customer to identify with it in as few notes (or words) as possible. That is what I do.

      I love cars. I love the Internet. The intersection of my two loves is my passion and career. Connected cars are becoming the next great consumer electronics device on wheels. The change will be as dramatic as the move from the flip phone to the smartphone. The connected car revolution is poised to transform our lives. Vehicle manufacturers are embracing the shared economy in anticipation of car ownership migrating to mobility as a service. Autonomous driving is coming too and will save lives by addressing and hopefully mitigating the 95% of accidents that are based on human error. Throughout these transformations, I’ll be involved in defining and monetizing connected car breakthrough experiences.
