About me

TL;DR
I am a Product & Growth Advisor with experience across corporate venture building (Knauf Digital), UX/Product leadership (Occhio), and hands-on startup mentoring at UnternehmerTUM and Start2. I specialize in Product-Led Growth, user onboarding, activation, retention, and product analytics. I support early-stage founders in validating markets, shaping product strategy, and designing intuitive user experiences. Having also built and failed my own startup, I bring both strategic insight and practical empathy to coaching founders.

I am a Product & Growth Advisor based in Munich, focused on helping early-stage to seed startups find clarity, build the right product, and reach sustainable activation and retention. My background bridges corporate product leadership and venture building, hands-on UX/Product Design, and Product-Led Growth (PLG) strategy.

I spent several years in corporate venture building at Knauf Digital, working across multiple B2B SaaS in construction industry as PO & Chapter Lead Product Design. I established product workflows, DesignOps systems, growth frameworks, and cross-functional collaboration.

For the past years, I have been advising and coaching startups through programs such as UnternehmerTUM, Start2 Group, and private startup advisory engagements. I support founders in validating markets, shaping value propositions, building product activation flows, defining analytics instrumentation, and designing user onboarding experiences that drive measurable outcomes. My mentoring approach is practical, empathetic, and focused on real traction.

I have also founded and failed my own startup, which taught me humility, prioritization, and resilience. I understand early founder challenges not only from theory, but from lived experience.

I enjoy working with ambitious founders who want to validate fast, build smart, and grow with intention.
