Welcome!
I’m Dr. Alexandra Voit, a Product Owner with a background in Software Engineering and Human-Computer Interaction.
My professional focus lies at the intersection of technology, user experience, and product management. I am passionate about turning complex requirements into intuitive digital products and helping organizations create solutions that are technically feasible, user-centered, and aligned with business goals.
With experience in academia, consulting, and the automotive industry, I bring a unique combination of analytical thinking, user-centered design expertise, and hands-on product development. Currently, I work as a Product Owner at Mercedes-Benz AG, where I drive the development of digital solutions for retailers in an agile environment.
I hold a PhD in Human-Computer Interaction (Computer Science) from the University of Stuttgart, where my research explored how smart home systems can effectively present non-urgent notifications to users.
