As a tech enthusiast, my journey began with discipline and ambition – qualities I brought from the football field into the business world. At 25, I led the digitalization of a major automotive corporation, built an innovation hub in Munich, and connected with the startup scene and companies like Google and Microsoft. Later, I moved into self-employment: first as a full-stack freelancer, then as founder of Softwaregarage GmbH. I realized how often IT projects fail despite massive budgets – companies end up back with Excel and manual workarounds. To change that, we developed FlowCraftDB: an AI-driven solution that automates the preparation of chaotic product data and integrates error-free datasets directly into ERP, PIM, or e-commerce systems – without Excel and without manual effort. We help manufacturers, wholesalers, and online retailers sell faster and more efficiently. In 2023, I was honored with the Outstanding Leadership Award in Dubai for this approach.
