01

Healthcare, SaaS & governance

Delivery in environments where access control, auditability and evidence matter as much as the product itself.

Diligram / MyStaff app

Strategic lead and board member for an AI-powered governance platform that evolved from the concept of digital knowledge hubs into a tool giving staff instant, controlled access to policies and regulations. Now supports 100,000+ frontline staff across 70 major hospitals daily — including the NHS (Europe’s largest healthcare provider) and Nuffield Health — lifting compliance rates to nearly 100%.

Regulated operating context

Delivery inside healthcare governance and compliance constraints — balancing clinical and operational needs with traceability, access management and a defensible audit trail, eliminating hundreds of thousands of wasted staff hours each year.

02

Retail technology & AI-enabled operations

Bringing emerging in-store and operational technology from pilot to credible, scalable concept.

dmTECH / dm-drogerie markt

Senior project leadership for the “future store” programme at Europe’s largest drugstore chain (4,000+ stores) — running pilots for cashierless checkout, visual AI and smart carts, and establishing an HQ test store as a blueprint for next-generation retail operations.

ScanSoles

Product lead and active board member for an AI-based 3D foot-scanning and custom orthotic platform — turning a few smartphone photos into 3D foot data and linking it to distributed “mass customisation” manufacturing across EMEA and Asia.

03

Media, streaming & digital platforms

Building and delivering content, learning and streaming platforms at scale.

Handelsblatt Media Group / ada Learning

Senior PM and Product Owner for the corporate learning platform of Germany’s leading business media group — MVP live in four months, adopted by staff from top DAX corporations, later expanded into event solutions during the MBO that formed today’s ada Learning GmbH.

ProSiebenSat.1

Media transformation for one of Europe’s largest broadcasters: migrated infrastructure to the cloud under NIST Level 3 compliance, rolled out a new OTT VOD platform and delivered a Hollywood-certified system streaming VOD across 250+ Deutsche Bahn ICE trains.

Siemens — Music2You

Built and managed Europe’s largest white-label digital music provider for Tier-1 telcos worldwide — winner of the Siemens Innovation Award (2005), later acquired by IMImobile.

04

Industrial technology, IoT & Industry 4.0

Connecting physical equipment and operations to digital platforms and services.

Jakob Müller Group

Delivered MyMünet, a comprehensive IoT and e-commerce platform for remote monitoring and predictive maintenance of textile machines deployed worldwide.

TexTrace / Avery Dennison

Designed an RFID-based connected-textiles platform for subsidiary TexTrace AG — bringing physical garments into the digital world — later acquired by Avery Dennison.

ScanSoles — connected manufacturing

Industry 4.0 SaaS platform linking AI-based scanning directly to custom orthotic insole production — digital capture through to physical output.

05

Venture build, M&A & commercialisation

An entrepreneurial track record of building, scaling and exiting digital ventures.

Sky / Acetrax

Co-founded Europe’s first direct-to-TV streaming service as CEO, grew it to acquisition by Sky in 2012, then managed the commercial integration as Commercial Director — the platform becoming the backbone of Sky’s international streaming business.

Concept to market

Repeated experience moving products from proof of concept and MVP through to rollout and stable operations — with the commercial, vendor and stakeholder management that real launches require.
