2018, after 30 years, I retired from the automotive industry. The last 10 years thereof, I was senoir engineering project leader of the Volkswagen Passat, Arteon and the Chinese CC and Magotan.

After that I founded an advisory company, working mainly for Stern Houseboat and was deeply involved in SPYCE, the AI-Ride-Sharing App. that finds and matches trips automatically in the background, allowing to reach everyday trips that nobody would post within an App, but the AI does. Since August 2024 I took over the CEO position of the SPYCE company Movebis GmbH. SPYCE has a special data protection concept through on device AI-algorithms.
