Where Data Meets Product:
Building Bridges That Drive Growth

I’m Jakob, a product growth leader with 20+ years experience in Europe’s largest marketplaces. I help tech companies build data foundations, design metrics frameworks, and create experimentation programs that connect insights to action.

How I Help You Bridge the Gap

My hybrid approach combines strategic guidance with practical implementation support, ensuring your team not only gets the right frameworks but also the skills to maintain and evolve them. I don’t create dependencies—I build capabilities that deliver sustainable results.

Foundations

Data Infrastructure That Enables Decisions

Establish the technical foundations that connect your product vision to measurable outcomes. I help you design and implement analytics systems, MarTech stacks, and tracking frameworks that capture the right data at the right time—making insights accessible to everyone who needs them.

Measurement

Metrics That Actually Matter

Move beyond vanity metrics to frameworks that drive real decisions. I help you identify, define, and implement metrics that align with business objectives, creating clear hierarchies that show how user behaviours connect to growth outcomes.

Validation

Experimentation That Delivers Confidence

Build structured experimentation programs that drive product decisions with statistical validity. I help you design experiment methodologies, prioritisation frameworks, and implementation processes that transform how your team validates ideas and measures impact.

Alignment

Workshops That Break Down Silos

Align product, data, and engineering teams around user journeys and business goals. I facilitate structured workshops that create common language, shared priorities, and clear responsibilities—turning cross-functional friction into collaborative momentum.
