I began my professional career with an apprenticeship as an industrial mechanic in the automotive sector – a solid technical foundation that continues to benefit me in many projects today. I then studied media technology, which laid the foundation for my entry into the digital world. After completing my studies, I worked for over eleven years at an innovative software and games start-up. I started out in game design, focusing on casual and serious games, and over time developed a passion for project management. This eventually led me to the role of department head for the app and games division. In this position, I was able to build teams, strategically manage projects and combine creative ideas with technical expertise. I joined the innovation management team in April 2025. Here, I contribute my interdisciplinary experience in technology, creativity and management to drive new ideas forward and design innovative solutions.
