About Chris

Ich unterstütze Gründer:innen dabei, erstklassige Produkte auf den Markt zu bringen und ihre Teams zu skalieren. Mit über 7 Jahren Erfahrung in angewandter KI (LLMs, Sprach- und Computer Vision-Technologien), 12 Jahren im Produktmanagement und 8 Jahren bei Rockstar Games im Aufbau globaler Produkte die über 1 Mrd. Euro Umsatz erzielt haben, habe ich die Produktstrategie in mehreren Frühphasen Startups von Null bis zum Launch geführt und die Grundlagen für schnelles, skalierbares Wachstum gelegt.

Derzeit arbeite ich als fractional VP of Product & AI-Stratege und unterstütze KI-orientierte Unternehmen dabei:

• Eine klare KI Produkt Roadmap zu definieren und umzusetzen
• MVPs auf den Markt bringen und schnell Product-Market-Fit zu validieren
• Frühe Produktteams aufzubauen und zu coachen
• Führungs-Lücken zu überbrücken, bis eine CPO/VP Rolle besetzt ist

Wenn du Gründer:in bist oder ein VC finanziertes Startup leitest und deine Produkt und KI Strategie beschleunigen willst, lass uns gerne sprechen.
