Describe your career
I studied computer science at the University of Stuttgart and completed my studies in October 2004 as a computer scientist (Dipl. Inf.).

After completing my studies, I spent about 12 years as a consultant in the financial and automotive sectors with a focus on consulting and programming with Java and JEE as well as support and development of data warehouse systems in complex system landscapes. I then wanted to get to know the other side of the coin and moved to Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG and worked there in various roles: from platform manager for middleware services to product manager for a collaboration and development platform to tech lead for collaboration tools.
I have the following certificates:
- SAFe 6 Scrum Master
- SAFe DevOps Course (5.1)
- SAFe Product Owner/Product Manager Course (5.0)
- Leading SAFe Course (5.0)
How would you describe yourself in one sentence?
I am the haven of peace in the team, who keeps track of things even in challenging situations and can take the necessary steps to “get the cow off the ice.”
What do you enjoy about your free time?
To spend time with my family and if I manage to swim a few laps.
Why is water wet?
Because it's hydrating.
