What I do. I help companies build digital products and teams from scratch or elevate them to new levels.

2026

Director of Design at Ecosia

Berlin

I managed an extended AI-first organization across product design, content design, UX research and brand. I shared the CPO role with the CEO, leading our core company bets around AI, growth and subscriptions (now in beta). I also headed the People Lead guild, trying to improve our people management, hiring and budgeting practices.

In August 26, my role (top design leadership) was eliminated as Ecosia goes into Founder Mode. CEO’s recommendation letter available here.

2020 – Now

Startup advisor

Remote

I partner with startups to give a hand on product, design and growth strategy. Among them, you'll find Axcels (Antler cohort, Helsinki), Stenon ($20M series A, Berlin), Open Health Technologies ( $4.3 seed, Berlin), TheGoodBoss.eu (fastest growing HR tech in France, Paris) and many more.

2020 – 2024

Interim Leadership (manager/super IC)

Berlin, Zürich, Oslo

I joined headless teams or full design orgs to improve operations, manage designers and lead design work on complex challenges. I brought agency in uncertain times to companies such as Holoplot (leading the team through a redesign and releasing the product running the Las Vegas MSG Sphere's sound system), Taxfix (launching the French tax app while exploring the US market), Zalando (building the tool replacing Excel for their buyers), GetYourGuide (connecting teams to fix their post-booking experience) or even Autodesk (Forma/Spacemaker, helping create early AI interpretability & explainability patterns).

2019 – 2020

Director of Product Design at TourRadar

Vienna

Joined as a freelancer and was promoted within a month to assume leadership, scaled the team to 8 and supported C-suite through organizational changes during a major redesign and brand refresh. Covid cut the adventure short for me, but thanks to our efforts, TourRadar recovered faster than its competitors.
