About

Setting up fully fledged businesses from scratch, scaling them and driving profitable growth. With over 26 years of experience in IT and business, I have a proven track record of building and leading successful teams, delivering innovative solutions, and driving profitable growth. My core competencies include IT strategy and sourcing, information security, IT operations, enterprise IT. I have founded and co-founded multiple ventures and startups. I am fluent in German, English, French, and Spanish, and have an international mindset and network. As the CTO of Digital Charging Solutions, I was one of the founding members of the team that carved out the company from BMW, and later attracted Daimler and BP as shareholders. I set up the complete IT of the company from scratch, scaling it from 0 to 120 FTE and supporting the growth of the business from 0 to 250 employees.
