I advise teams on winning go-to-market strategy, pricing, and execution, with a strong bias toward turning insights into measurable outcomes. Most recently, I have been shaping customer acquisition and AI-enabled operational workflows for a retail grocery app across multiple cities and a 100+ SKU catalog. In prior roles, I built and scaled product and platform capabilities from the ground up. I led plant setup and business planning for a food manufacturing venture, developed a €50K capex model, and coordinated a 9-month pilot launch roadmap for a team of 5. I have also delivered product innovation with defensible advantage. At Infinite Roots, I identified and executed entry into the plant-based steak category, secured €2M non-dilutive funding, and supported scale through pilot facility setup, QMS establishment, and regulatory navigation including EFSA. Earlier, as the first employee at Bioweg UG, I built the lab and production foundation and enabled 50% capacity scale-up. Outside corporate work, I combine execution with momentum. I founded and led a 40+ member running club in Hamburg and built a YouTube channel from my dorm room to 58 million views, funding my education through self-taught video editing and content strategy.
