My superpower: Product Discovery

Product Leadership

I set up and lead strategic product initiatives; facilitate innovation management; and lead business strategy development.

User Research

I design and perform user research to develop a profound understanding of user needs and desires—and hence the product.

UX & Usability

I translate research into product concepts, ideas and prototypes. I solve user and business problems via usability testing.

People Leadership

I coach individual contributors in product, UX, and research; I build up (and hire!) teams; and I mentor leaders.

Consulting Agencies

I help with HR strategy, culture, branding, growth strategy, company structure, incentives and partnerships.

Change Management

I help establish lean and user-centered design/service organizations to face modern product challenges.

"I worked with Lukas for years, in two companies. What I learned is this: He is a provocateur, maybe the best I have ever seen. He keeps people honest and on their toes, but he also makes them feel safe.”
