Expert profile

Nils von Harleßem

I help tech companies align their product development with customer needs and structure it efficiently.

The focus of my work is on developing strategies and processes that empower product teams to take action. This includes coaching and training IT executives to provide practical tools and methodological expertise.

As a Product Owner, freelancer, and IT consultant, I have over 15 years of experience in developing and scaling digital products for startups, SMEs, and large corporations. This helps me assess situations and identify effective levers for change.
