Biography
- After completing my degree in business and electrical engineering from TU Munich, I pursued my doctoral research at both the University of St. Gallen and the University of Cambridge, UK. In 2019, I further honed my expertise in mergers and acquisitions at Harvard Business School.
- Throughout my tenure in the machining industry, I held several pivotal roles including the Head of Patent and Innovation Management, Head of IoT Solutions and Innovation, and Head of Strategy and Business Development. By 2020, I embraced an academic role at the Institute of Innovation and Technology at the University of Applied Science in Lucerne. Here, my academic endeavors have predominantly centered on topics such as digital business models, new business development, digital transformation, energy economics, and sustainability.
- My passion is on creating new ideas for sustainable businesses. With a foundation rooted in research, I want to advance business, solve real-life challenges, and create success.
- "The single most important foundation for success is prior success."
