About
My name is Jannis, and I’m currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Information Systems at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. My dissertation focuses on corporate data strategies and the design of data ecosystems. Even during my undergraduate studies, I gained a wide range of practical experience working with digital technologies at Robert Bosch GmbH and as the founder of a startup. A semester abroad at BI Norwegian Business School broadened my international perspective. In my personal life, I also enjoy staying active: I’m passionate about a wide variety of sports, enjoy running, and love discovering new countries and cultures while traveling.
