Managing Director
Kreisfreie Stadt Aachen Area, Germany
As a managing director I initiated and led RWTH Innovation GmbH at RWTH Aachen University from June 2017 to June 2022, starting an integrated and entrepreneurial tech transfer office from scratch. In the first five years under my leadership RWTH Innovation grew entrepreneurially to 40 staff members, scouted and supported over 800 inventions and 250 start-ups, created a key account partnership model for business partners and set up two daughter companies: one for equity management (RWTH Innovation Ventures GmbH) and one incubator including a maker space for student entrepreneurship initiatives (Collective Incubator GmbH).
