Forward Deployed Engineer • AI Mobility & Data Platforms • Berlin
Engineer's hands, PM's questions, GM's accountability.
13+ years across the full arc: software engineer → data scientist → data integration at Teradata (built and delivered Volvo's data warehouse end-to-end, working directly with the customer) → Senior Product Owner → Product Director → General Manager for AI Mobility Products & Delivery at AAI Innovations, Berlin.
Forward deployed is where that arc converges: embed with the customer, find the real problem, ship working software — then make sure it lands commercially.
