Experience map

Five roles, one thread

I’ve worked as an IT Consultant, Business Analyst, Project Manager, Product Owner and Portfolio Manager over the past ten years. These roles have taught me how to connect business goals with product development and delivery.

  • Build-ready requirements

    Wrote the epics, user stories and acceptance criteria myself for a variety of products (1&1 Deposit Shop, E.ON E-Commerce, GMX/web.de, Mein02, AlidTalk etc.).
