Description

• Go-to-Market strategy and launch of new product lines

• Change management in product teams

15+ years of experience: From Product Manager to Global Product Manager at Vertiv/Emerson and Rosenberger-OSI. Co-inventor of several products in the field of datacenter infrastructure and modular cabling solutions.
