Mobiledge
Empowering the Edge of Mobility
Been there, Built that. Now Let’s Build Yours.
Think “seasoned entrepreneur” meets “innovation ninja.” I bring nearly 34 years of experience navigating the wild world of international corporate research and leading the charge in tech startups. From spearheading successful product launches to wrangling (ahem, leading) talented teams, I’ve honed my skills in both the tech and business realms.
My passion lies in driving innovation and getting things done – think of me as your results-oriented compass. Whether it’s automotive tech, navigation, maps, or location-based solutions, I’m your guy. I wear many hats (metaphorically, of course) and excel at providing executive leadership, hands-on guidance, and agile strategies.
Bonus superpowers – I can communicate and negotiate with the best of them. From captivating clients to charming investors, I’ve got the persuasion skills to turn your vision into reality.

Automotive Tech Expertise
My time at Mercedes-Benz and Daimler wasn’t just about fancy cars (though, let’s be honest, they are pretty awesome). I honed my expertise in the real nuts and bolts of the industry – automotive technologies, navigation systems, digital maps, and location-based solutions. This translates to a deep understanding of software, content, and services within the automotive sector.
What does this mean for you?
I can be your active partner in crafting a winning product strategy and development plan. Think of me as your insider’s guide to navigating the complexities of automotive tech.

From Concept to Launch
A Proven Track Record in Mobility
My career path is paved with successful product launches. At Mercedes-Benz, Daimler Mobility Services, moovel, and Terranet, I’ve consistently led the charge in driving innovative product development initiatives and crafting winning product strategies.
But my most valuable lessons come from the startup world. Building two startups from the ground up has equipped me with the real-world expertise you need to not only develop groundbreaking mobility and automotive solutions, but also market and scale them for success.
