Introduction
I’m a postdoctoral researcher and lecturer working at the Technical University Berlin where I obtained my Ph.D. in Innovation Economics in 2022. From 2015-2022 I was a managing consultant at IBM in the business unit AI and data platforms. Since Jan 2023 I work as a manager in the Economic advisory of EY. I'm thriving to understand how digital innovations such as Blockchain can unfold their potential to drive development and unravel the role of regulations and policymakers in this process.
