About Arsenty

I offer support for strategic-technical tasks along the innovation chain – from the analysis and positioning of new technologies and product roadmaps to the implementation of sales and market entry strategies.

What sets me apart:
• Deep technical background (PhD Physics) with a focus on sensors, optoelectronics, semiconductors
• 10+ years of experience in the high-tech industry (including TRUMPF, Axetris)
• Leadership of international teams (DE, USA, UK, TW) in matrix structures
• Experience with regulated markets (medical technology, energy, oil/gas)
• Strong negotiation skills at C-level, analytical perspective, and execution strength

I am flexibly deployable in interim and project roles: e.g., in business development, product strategy, industrialization, or leadership of development departments.
