About Sarah

As a Product Professional with many years of experience in Product Experimentation, Data, Product Operations, and Product Management, I help companies not only build digital products but drive them to lasting success. My approach is holistic: I connect technology, culture, and individual enablement.

My Focus:
  • Strategy & Ecosystems: Building scalable product ecosystems and sustainable tech stacks.
  • Transformation & Culture: Breaking down cultural barriers and establishing an outcome-driven mindset.
  • Enablement: Targeted training to close knowledge and application gaps at the individual level.
  • Insights: Validation through data (A/B testing, quantitative and qualitative user research) as the foundation for every product decision.

My Experience:
  • From dynamic scale-ups to complex enterprises, from e-commerce to mobility — I know the specific challenges of different industries and organizational structures.
  • I bring experience from multiple disciplines within product development: Product Management, Experimentation, User Research, Product Operations, Analytics.
  • B2C, B2B
  • Web, App

My Way of Working:
Data-driven, outcome- and solution-oriented, and sustainable.

My Guiding Principle:
I firmly believe that valid insights and reliable data make the decisive difference, and that the best products emerge in scalable ecosystems where solid knowledge, customer-centricity, and an outcome-driven mindset come together.
