Former Senior Director of Product Management at Google and former startup CEO. I led products that served billions of users and generated billions in revenue.
Today I advise management teams in building leading products and product orgs. I am also an angel investor.
As part of the early Google Maps team I was head of the Geo Product group in EMEA for seven years. I was responsible for some of the largest global features on Maps, including Directions by car, public transportation, biking and walking. I led the EMEA rollout of features like Street View, managed the global emerging markets strategy and was the global privacy lead for Geo. Maps is one of Google's few products with over 2 billion users.
Google Shopping is a multi-billion dollar business driving product searches on Google and connecting hundreds of millions of users with the biggest retailers in the world such as Walmart, Target, Macy's and Amazon. For 5 years I led global Product Management for all retailer aspects (data, merchant tools, user interfaces, systems) of this two-digit billion dollar business.
Since 2013 I am Co-Chair of the Product Management Festival, a yearly PM focused conference with thousands of participants from over 45 countries. We amplify the impact of Product Management. Also check out our Product Leadership Program in cooperation with INSEAD.
I am a partner and board member of Thiga, a company specializing in product management consulting, training and conferences in France, Spain and Switzerland. My own startup Peak Product merged with Thiga in 2024.
