Hi!
I am Tom, a seasoned product professional with over two decades of extensive experience in the realm of digital products. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working across various facets of product development, including product design, product management, conceptualization and UI/UX design. My professional journey has taken me to diverse organizations, spanning digital agencies, corporations, and innovative start-ups from the bustling streets of New York and San Francisco to the vibrant scenes of Berlin, Vienna, and Tel Aviv.
I’m all about that sweet spot where a killer product vision meets real-world practicality in today’s digital landscape. I’m not afraid to push the boundaries and think outside the box, constantly exploring fresh, creative approaches to deliver high quality and bring unique product ideas to life.
I deeply care about the environment, i am also a father, wannabe-professional cook and modular synth nerd.
Skills
I come fully equipped to take on any role within a product team. I’m well-versed in various methodologies, including agile approaches like SCRUM, Kanban, XP, and RAD, as well as more traditional waterfall methods. I’m highly proficient in Figma, where I can create animated prototypes that provide all stakeholders with a vivid understanding of the product’s vision and direction. Additionally, I frequently utilize Jira and Miro to develop and present roadmaps, user stories, and retrospectives. With fluent English skills and extensive experience working remotely, I seamlessly integrate into distributed teams.

Product Lead, PM/PO, UI/UX
Recently I have been supporting a sustainability SaaS Start-Up in finding product-market fit in the newly evolving and highly competitive business landscape of Green-Tech. The product is aimed at retailers to assess the Scope 3 emissions of their whole assortment and helps them optimize their footprint within the supply-chain.
My responsibilities included conceptualizing the CEO’s vision into the final product, setting up roadmaps and user stories for the development team and the design of the platform itself.
