I’m Dr. Alexandra Voit, a Product Owner with a background in Software Engineering (agile development) and Human-Computer Interaction. With experience in both industry and academia, I bridge the gap between business needs and technology / agile development.

Currently, I am working as a Product Owner at Mercedes-Benz AG. Here, I am responsible for the development and rollout of a global ticketing tool for retailers. Prior to this, I gained extensive experience as a Senior Consultant and Proxy Product Owner at adesso SE, focusing on automotive and transportation software projects. My passion lies in agile product management, user/experience usability, and digital innovation.

I hold a PhD in Human-Computer Interaction (Computer Science) from the University of Stuttgart, where my research explored how smart home systems can display non-urgent notifications effectively. 

Feel free to explore my Publications, Certificates, and Professional Experience to learn more about my work.
