Research project manager

INSEAD MBA

After over four years experience as an entrepreneur and CEO I decided to complete my computer science studies. I wrote my diploma thesis about "Open Source Business Models” and graduated as "Diplom-Infomatiker" in 2002 (MSc. Computer Science, "A"-grade).

In 2002 and 2003 I worked as project manager at the Institute of Business Informatics at the TU Berlin. I directed several research projects in the field of IT strategy/mobile security for the German Ministry of Interior. Having had final responsibility for the research results, my tasks included supervising more than 20 project members and handling client relations.

At the Institute of Business Informatics I also started a mobile technologies research center and advised DaimlerChrysler on their secure mobile IT strategy.

Additionally, I gave a variety of lectures in the fields of Entrepreneurship, Open Source Software and Economics.
