I love to figure out the best ways of packaging content into (mobile) products and services, creating new business opportunities and businesses along the way. I like to roll up my sleeves and jump into new projects, leading as I go. I can offer content and product experience as well as expertise in media and leadership. I get passionate about quality.
Business Development: I create new business opportunities and enjoy bringing new business ideas to execution. I am comfortable leading complex negotiations.
Content and Product Development: I can lead a team in planning, creation and execution of online products. This includes business planning and development, budget analysis, board level pitching, intra- and inter-organizational organization, prototyping, supplier negotiation, content production, product development and lifecycle management. There's a special place in my heart for news media.
Management: I can identify and implement positive, efficient and successful team structures. I work by building consensus and, where necessary, saying no in order to reach goals. I'm happiest working with smaller, intimate groups of similarly motivated people.
I am eligible to live and work in the USA and EU. I speak English and German (intermediate-advanced). I also learned Latin for four years.
I'm particularly interested in emerging technologies such as novel methods of human-device interaction, as well as emerging device-device communication protocols.
Specialties: Mobile, Mobile Applications, Media Platforms, Mobile Advertising, Mobile Payments, Technology Sales and Business Development, Interaction Design, Software As A Service, Usability, User Experience, Disruptive ideas and technology.
