delivering market-winning products from 0 to 1. Over the past decade, I’ve led at the intersection of product strategy, user-centered design, and AI-driven innovation, launching solutions that shape industries.
Right now, as Co-Founder & Chief Product Officer at Tarka.ai, I help teams discover, validate, and scale products, cutting time-to-market and driving adoption.
Previously, as Lead CX Designer & Researcher at Mach49 (Startup Incubator), I guided four corporate startups from zero to fully funded, launching industry-shaping products in construction, mobility, and government. I’ve also delivered products used by thousands for brands including Goodyear, UniCredit, TDK, MunichRe, and Mammut.
I excel at turning complex problems into elegant, scalable solutions that achieve measurable market impact.
"Our lives might be complex and messy, but the interactions with our products shouldn't be."
I enjoy pushing my boundaries at work and in my free time. Take sports, for instance: I go swimming, ballroom dancing, hiking, sailing, and paragliding.
I love technology! Besides designing digital products professionally, I engineer IoT devices and autonomous robots for fun.
My curiosity lets me venture into the world far outside the beaten track. I explored 35+ countries across four continents in my 44-year-old Toyota Landcruiser. Crossing war zones taught me to stay calm and diplomatic.
I seize every opportunity for an adventure and spent several years abroad. Every journey I embark on opens my eyes to new experiences and cultures. I enjoy leaving my comfort zone and interacting with people from various cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
