About me

My career connects a large background of practical digital media innovation for consumer applications, enterprise platforms and advertisement. This includes:
- the most successful no-frills mobile telephony offering in Switzerland and its web community,
- New mobile internet services for Swisscom Mobile,
- the interactive TV service ventured by Thomson and Microsoft,
- and currently the regional search engine local.ch

I'm good at developing new lines of business, at professionalizing product management and engineering and at managing and motivating people in a multi-cultural environment.
