Since 20 years, I'm in innovation and technology management, IT strategy and enterprise architecture, entrepreneurship and academic teaching and research. After many years in strategy and IT consulting (IBM, Siemens, Daimler) I designed and managed the innovations & research department at adidas for a couple of years.

In 2009 I founded ITONICS, a software company specializing in solutions for strategic foresight, innovation management, trend and emerging technology management, and innovation portfolios and roadmapping. Between 2010 and 2016 I continued the academic career in parallel to being an entrepreneur as professor in information systems at FOM Hochschule für Oekonomie und Management. Today, ITONICS employs 150 individuals on five continents and serves more than 200 clients. Among them are adidas, AUDI, Siemens, KPMG, Mondelez, Edeka, DZ Bank, Thales, Google, SAP, INTEL, Johnson & Johnson, CISCO, and Dolby.
