Beschreibung

Senior Product Owner and Manager (MBA) with 15 years delivering complex, regulated platforms end to end in major German enterprises (Porsche, Mercedes-Benz Bank, Daimler Mobility, Unzer, Fiducia & GADIT). I own the arc from business case and technology assessment through architecture, SDLC, and vendor steering toaudit-grade production rollout at scale. I combine hands-on engineering depth (Java, Spring Boot, microservices, cloud)with program-level governance (BaFin, BAIT, MaRisk, ISO 27001, GDPR, IKS), multi-million-euro budget ownership, andexecutive-level stakeholder management. Trilingual at C2 (French native, German, English).
