About Franziska

As a Senior Product Manager and business consultant, I help companies turn bold product visions into market-winning solutions that drive measurable growth. With a strong track record in fintech, SaaS, and B2B software, I bring a hands-on approach to product strategy, market and user research, and cross-functional leadership. Whether you need to launch new products, improve adoption rates, or align teams for faster, high-impact delivery, I deliver—from concept to growth.

What sets me apart is my entrepreneurial experience as a founder combined with proven success scaling products in high-paced environments, including Candis GmbH and GK Software. I thrive on complex challenges and excel at creating actionable roadmaps, leading feature launches (such as document management or Single Sign-On), and optimizing for both user experience and business results.

Typical projects I deliver:

Defining and executing product strategy

Leading discovery and user research

Building and scaling new features or product areas

Streamlining processes for faster time to market

Supporting go-to-market and cross-team alignment
