• With an adjustment of our Product Org, my Co-Founders Tim, Lena and me decided to not play the titel-game anymore. We all 3 work with an outstanding team on air ups existing, new, future products and we are all Co-Founders. So instead of adding fancy titels, we simply describe what we do. Work on the products :)

• After scaling air ups Operations Team for a few years (including D2C-Logistics, a ramp up and ramp down of a Chinese Supply Chain to a European production of our products and many other fun stories) I move my full focus on the Development of air ups physical products. This includes basic research with our Life Science group, the Development of world class scent based flavours, a group for minimal packaging that max out the users experience, but also Engineering of new products and productions machinery. I share this role with my great Co-Founder Tim Jäger, who focuses on the Industrial Design part of our Product Organisation. What makes me most exciting about this role is, that we embed the R&D Org in a #thinknew-style way of working: a crossfunctional delivery-team-style way of colaboration, that is based on agile ideas (well know in software dev) and makes air up delivering new product improvments and innovation with lightening speed to our global customers.
