Beschreibung

I help teams turn early-stage ideas into validated digital products, pilots, and scalable solutions.

As an Innovation Lead at REWE digital and founder of Levin, I combine innovation strategy, product thinking, operations experience, and hands-on AI prototyping. My work focuses on moving from discovery to business case, from prototype to pilot, and from pilot to measurable rollout.

I have experience leading cross-functional initiatives across product, engineering, operations, legal, and business stakeholders. My background includes retail tech, IoT, autonomous delivery, digital health, AI-assisted product development, and process optimization. I am comfortable working at both strategic and execution levels: defining product vision, structuring experiments, building prototypes, aligning stakeholders, and preparing concepts for scale.

Typical projects I can support include innovation strategy, new product development, AI prototyping, MVP definition, pilot planning, business case development, product discovery, stakeholder alignment, and go-to-market preparation.

What makes my work practical is the combination of corporate innovation experience, founder mindset, and operational execution. I focus on ideas that can be tested, measured, and implemented.
