I'm a frequent speaker at various conferences. Last year I delivered sessions at events like Techorama, Microsoft Belgium Government Day, International Product owner Day, Azure Meet-ups, and many more. Microsoft often asks me to give customer case presentations about our transformation.

Lately the greening of IT has gained more of my interest. A topic that seems to not be considered while we're all building new software and services. It's time for the World to add the greening of IT to our digital transformations as well.

You can always contact me to talk about subjects like: DevOps, Cloud Computing, Sustainable IT, and Growth Mindset.

After studying Chemical Engineering at TU Dresden and earning my degree as a Dipl.-Chem.-Ing., I quickly discovered my entrepreneurial spirit. During my studies, I developed the web-based "ChemTics" toolkit and, together with a fellow student, won the ChemCar competition in 2012. These achievements laid the foundation for my career, which led me to work as a research associate at TU Dresden and as a researcher at Lonza in Switzerland.

In 2014, I founded SupraTix GmbH with the support of an EXIST start-up grant. As Managing Director, I lead a company that develops AI-based solutions, cloud software, and platforms like SupraWorx, SimulateOS, supraAgent and openReactor - creating digital ecosystems for process optimization, learning and working. Additionally, I serve as Interim CEO for two spin-offs focused on Cyber Resilience and Course Compose.

My drive for innovation extends beyond business development into research. I have published several scientific papers and hold a patent for a method of adaptive and optimizing process control. This invention enhances the efficiency of chemical processes by integrating multiple subprocess simulations.

My leadership style is defined by customer orientation, direct communication, and a collaborative approach. I firmly believe that digitalization projects should not follow a "We’re building an app" mindset but instead focus on delivering lasting value for end users. That’s why we involve our customers as partners in every development process. Regular feedback allows us to create tailored solutions that perfectly align with their needs. This open, hierarchy-free work culture fosters trust and strong team cohesion - reflected in outstanding employee ratings.

Innovation thrives on reflection, continuous learning, and the courage to embrace change. That’s why I advocate for bootstrapped growth, free from external investors. This independence enables us to fully pursue our vision of equal opportunities, diversity, and a global knowledge community -actively shaping the digital future.
