About Me

I am a Creative Technologist and Business Developer from Berlin, DE, working on client-centric experiences and solutions for a Big4 audit and consulting firm in Frankfurt, DE. I enjoy bringing the right people together to build sustainable solutions and solve the many complex issues of today and tomorrow by leading multi-cultural and multi-disciplin task forces.
Enabling openness and innovation in changing dynamics, the facilitation of skills of people from diverse backgrounds to collaborate and work towards common goals, and finding missing links of knowledge in our constantly shifting digitalized world have been my favorite challenges in the past few years.
If you want to chat about emerging tech, its challenges and opportunities, collaborative strategy workshops, UX or the latest exhibitions - be my guest and contact me through the usual channels.

Cheers,
Jan
