About Florian

Experienced Impetus for Change: Interim, Product, Tech

In addition to many years of consulting experience in German corporations, I have supported several companies in recent years as a founder, product owner, or technical sparring partner – including aSaaSproduct that I built from the initial idea to a seven-figure exit. The application was used worldwide by over 1,000 B2B customers, including companies such asBMW, Lidl, Delland **Wells Fargo**.

Today, I support startups, scale-ups, and corporations as an Interim CTO, Product Strategist, or Project Manager – especially in phases where structures are growing, teams are forming, or new products are being created.

I bring experience in scaling agile product teams, inproduct strategyand fundraising – as well as a good sense for timing, communication, and team dynamics.

I enjoy working closely with founders, product owners, and development teams – as amentor, sparring partneror **temporary operational support**.

Structure, calm, and execution power – for projects that really want to move forward.
