I help managers, founders and students turn digital ideas into business models, processes and innovations that work in practice.

I have done this myself: as an innovation manager at a major German utility, as an in-house consultant for technology and R&D efficiency at Rheinmetall, and as an independent consultant for a premium carmaker, a specialty chemicals group and an industrial technology company.

Today I am Professor of Digital Business Management at Pforzheim University and lead its English-taught Master's programme in Digital Business Management. As an associate member of the dean's office for AI and digitalization, I drive AI and digitalization across the business school, including coaching fellow professors on using AI in their teaching. Before that, I was a professor at IU International University, a leading digital university in Germany with more than 100,000 students, where I also ran the lecture video production and coached professors to teach on camera. I hold a doctorate in business model engineering (summa cum laude).

What you can expect from my courses: short lessons, clear models, real cases and templates you can use at work the next day. And honest answers when you ask.

Ich unterrichte auf Deutsch und Englisch. Meine deutschsprachigen Kurse zu Innovationsmanagement, Geschäftsmodellen, Strategie und Kundenservice verbinden Forschung mit Erfahrung aus Industrie und Beratung: kurze Lektionen, klare Modelle, echte Fälle, Vorlagen für den Berufsalltag.
