Über mich
I am a product strategist and manager. I evaluate new and updated products differently than most. I am not afraid to challenge the status quo. I dive deep into the complete system of the product, architecting solutions that take many factors into account - many factors that others typically won't include in their analysis. I have managed the full product lifecycle for large projects including managing local and near/off-shore teams while working at Accenture, SAP and Covestro. I also have the design and technical capabilities to deliver products with small teams that require speed and agility. I am an American. I moved to Europe in 2011 and currently live in Germany - I am willing to relocate.
