I am M. H., a startup expert with a focus on organization design,
product management,project management, and people-centric leadership.
I have a great passion for enabling people and teams to grow beyond themselves
herewith bringing technical projects a resounding success while.
Over the past 15 years, I have built, scaled, and internationalized tech companies
as a senior product executive at various incubators and companies such as
Project A Ventures, BCG Digital Ventures, McMakler, Finleap, and Data4Life.
In 2019 I decided to expand my experience in entrepreneurship by taking on
a position as a COO and making the organization, corporate governance,
and people empowerment “my product” while tackling the upcoming challenges
through the “lens of a product manager”.
Simultaneously I worked as a consultant and coach for various start-ups
and executives until mid 2023, when I decided to work full-time as
an independent consultant, coach, and interim manager.
