About

Seasoned Engineering Manager currently working at Zalando (8 years) and previously led teams at Rakuten (3 years), after 8 years as a hands-on Software Engineer. I built and scaled Zalando’s Fashion Search Engine from 2 engineers to a multi-team organization by hiring more than 15 Search Engineers and developing and promoting Managers and Principal Engineers. For the last 5 years I mentored Engineers, Manager, Senior Managers outside my company to navigate the leadership journey.

I help:
• Engineers/ICs make the jump to management with a concrete plan and action items.
• Managers (and managers of managers) untangle org design, performance systems, and cross-org alignment.

Expect direct but empathetic feedback, concrete frameworks (hiring rubrics, roadmap templates, org charts, job family role expectations), and accountability between sessions.
