Served as a reviewer for over 15 manuscripts for both journals and conferences including Journal of Information Technology (JIT), Business & Information Systems Engineering (BISE), Group Decision and Negotiation, Communications of the Association for Information Systems (CAIS), Journal of Information Systems Education (JISE), International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS), European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS), Internationale Tagung Wirtschaftsinformatik (WI), Pacific Asia Conference on Information Systems (PACIS), and Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS).
About Me
I’m passionate about how technology transforms the way we work and create value. After studying Information Systems (B.Sc. Wirtschaftsinformatik, M.Sc. IT Management & Consulting, semester abroad at the University of St Andrews), I gained hands-on experience in software development, process optimization, and enterprise architecture.
I then spent four years at Deloitte, most recently as a Senior Consultant, where I helped organizations leverage data, analytics, and AI—shaping strategies, building agile teams, and establishing AI governance. I worked with medium to large organizations across industries such as telecommunications, chemicals, consumer goods, and industrial goods, both in Germany and abroad.
Currently, I’m pursuing my PhD, focusing on how individuals can benefit from generative AI and how it reshapes human behavior. From Jan–Mar 2025, I expanded this research during a stay at the University of South Florida in Tampa. I plan to finish my PhD in Feb 2026 and will start a PostDoc at University of Zurich.
