Chief Technology Officer at CoachHub - The digital coaching platform

My passion is delivering great software products and building high-performing teams. I have 10+ years of experience in the software industry spanning a multitude of technologies, methodologies, industries, and countries leading teams from 5 to 50 FTEs. I've recently joined CoachHub first as VP Engineering and since November 2020 as CTO, where we are enabling personalised coaching for employees of all career levels. Before that, I was part of Babbel for five years, while the company grew from a promising startup with 100 people in Berlin to one of the most successful European tech startups with more than 500 people in Berlin and New York. I grew from Team Lead to Senior Engineering Manager, responsible for the Learning Experience Area, leading a group of 40 people organized in 3 full-stack teams and subject matter experts in our tribe. At GoEuro (now Omio) I scale the mobile unit from 1 Engineer to full-stack team of 10. Together we created the first mobile apps MVP and we evolve them to the full-fledge mobile experience for searching and booking tickets directly from your phone. My strengths * Developing a technology strategy for growth leveraging Agile Product Development and DevOps * Creating mission gravity to deliver outcomes in high-speed environments. * Shaping working principles to foster collaboration around cross-functional opportunities. * Identifying and nurturing tech talent while navigating business realities.
