Berlin, Germany

Products, people,
and AI.

I'm Philipp — a product leader based in Berlin with a background in Fintech, Insurance, and SaaS. I've spent the past 12 years building products, growing teams, and lately, bringing AI into the mix.

What I do

How I can help.

I enjoy working with teams and leaders on product strategy, AI adoption, and organizational challenges — as an advisor, coach, or sparring partner — happy to talk if any of this resonates.

AI Adoption

Helping organizations find practical ways to use AI — from internal tooling and process improvements to customer-facing features. Think identifying high-impact use cases, running pilots, and building the internal capability to keep going.

Product & Tech Coaching

Working with leaders and teams on product thinking, organizational design, OKRs, and the challenges of building remote-first cultures. Often with teams in transition — scaling up, restructuring, or shifting how they work.

Due Diligence

Supporting investors with technical and organizational due diligence — reviewing product strategies, team setups, and technology decisions. Typically for Series A–C companies in Fintech, Insurance, and SaaS.

Track record

Where I've been.

A mix of founding, leading, and advising — mostly in Fintech, Insurance, and SaaS, always at the intersection of product and technology.
