I am Head of Global Distribution & Equipment at E-T-A and am passionate about how true innovation arises in B2B – where technical product management, sales, and customer experience come together.
What drives me is not just to further develop products, but to radically rethink them. I believe that good product work starts with the customer – with genuine empathy, open dialogue, and a willingness to create new categories instead of just serving existing markets more efficiently.
In my talks, I combine strategy with practice and share what we have learned at E-T-A – about collaboration, failure, co-creation, and the courage to do things differently. I also like to draw inspiration for my talks from my personal passions, linking thought leaders from music or other creative industries to my professional context and showing what we can learn from them.
