Hi! My professional background is a bit unconventional. For many years, I was strongly focused on business topics in the Cloud/Telco sector. The spectrum expanded from 2015 onwards to Science & Engineering topics and products that reduce costs & CO2.

For the last five years, I lived in Bangalore (India) because I started a startup ("Nunam") in the field of reusing lithium-ion batteries with funding from Audi, among others. We built it from scratch and after about 4 years of applied research & development and with various pilot projects, we launched a commercial product at the beginning of last year and have been actively marketing it in India with a team of 20 employees and our own factory. Another product is a Battery Analytics Service. My co-founder continues to run the company in India (we differed in strategy); I have moved back to Germany. I learned an incredible amount during this time about entrepreneurship, what it's like to bootstrap a company, hiring, team leadership, engineering, product development, operations, supply chain, marketing, partnerships, sales, fundraising, and much more. In India, the spirit is positive and the ambition to grow is very high. It was incredibly dynamic and I've taken valuable experiences with me :)

As a next step, I am working as a freelancer and look forward to interesting projects! I am more of a generalist who is very structured, analytical, and rational with a very high proactive drive. Through my previous experiences, I can operate very well at the interface between people with deep technical backgrounds and business stakeholders. From my time in consulting, I can implement project assignments very well and manage stakeholders. I would also claim that I have a very broad intellectual spectrum, can think creatively and unconventionally, and am very output and customer-oriented. Remote & On-Site possible.
