Experience
Senior PO, Booking Platform
AIDA Cruises 2025 - 2025
Led the accessibility project for AIDA's booking flow to meet new legal requirements under the European Accessibility Act. Turned external audit findings into a prioritised roadmap, mapping them against the conversion funnel and using MoSCoW to plan releases. Delivered UI/UX and mobile improvements that fixed the issues blocking users from completing a booking, across web and app. Simplified the booking flow during the redesign, cutting and combining steps to make it easier for users. Managed cross-team alignment and reported status, risks, and scope to management, keeping development plans aligned and decisions transparent.
PO, B2B SaaS Platform (HRIS Integration)
WHATEVER.WORKS 2024 - 2024
Led the HRIS API integration project across provider evaluation (SAP SuccessFactors, Personio), onboarding flow design, and pilot delivery, resulting in go-live with two enterprise customers. Replaced spreadsheet-based onboarding with a read-only HRIS integration that synced employee data via API and designed the admin flow so client administrators could connect their systems independently.

Senior PO, Payment Platform Migration
Sodexo / Pluxee 2023 - 2024
Led the migration of three legacy mobile apps and web portals in Germany and Austria to Pluxee's new global platform during an active brand spin-off and rebrand. Ran a fit-gap analysis between the legacy systems and the global solution, identifying feature, UX, and payment flow gaps that had to be closed before each market rollout. Defined user acceptance tests so that login, account balances, and Apple Pay / Google Pay payment flows worked correctly after migration. Planned in-app messaging campaigns to drive awareness and adoption of the new platform during migration and rebranding.

Stopped rollouts when login, security, or stability issues occurred, and prioritised fast fixes within SLA commitments.

trivago N.V. 2015 - 2017
