To build an organisation that did not depend on me.
Less managing. More ownership, judgement and leadership in the team.
A colleague I had originally recruited eventually grew into the leadership role and took over my position.
Concurrent role
2021 — 2022 · concurrent
Deutsche Telekom Group
Product Manager — MagentaGaming
Romanian–German product organisation
Aug 2021 — Jun 2022
What I did
Managed product work within a Romanian–German organisation of around 40 engineers.
Replaced sequential handovers with a shared product-delivery flow.
Cut the path from product change to production from months to days.
Turned user feedback into live product changes within the same week.
Reprioritised work around observed user problems instead of requested features.
The shift
Fast delivery is not the same as product success.
The team delivered faster. The product still failed commercially. That pushed my focus further towards discovery, user evidence and deciding what not to build.
Created a common collaboration approach across Deutsche Telekom subsidiaries.
Coordinated international SharePoint migrations.
Drove the harmonisation of Exchange environments across participating companies.
Aligned central technology teams and local companies around shared implementation plans.
The shift
From local solutions to solutions that could travel.
The work now had to function across companies, countries and technical environments. That made reuse, governance and adaptability part of the solution from the beginning.
Much of it comes from what is not communicated, or from what is misunderstood. I studied communication and media to better understand how meaning is formed, shared and lost.

What stayed with me
Working in ensembles. Reading people and situations. Immediate feedback. Making something real before it is perfect.
Years later, that experience connected naturally back into leadership and coaching.
The pattern
Business → digital work → products → teams → organisational capability.
