Jörg Ossenkopp is a seasoned technology and product leader with 13 years of hands-on software experience and a track record of scaling teams and products across four continents. Currently Head of Product and Development at Pflegia, he blends engineering ownership (server clusters, Node.js middleware, APIs, mobile and web clients) with strategic product architecture to drive growth across market segments. His background spans CTO and interim-CTO roles, head-of-frontend and founder positions, and deep practical experience in frontend and backend stacks including Node.js, Ruby on Rails and Angular-era toolchains. Trained in philosophy to the PhD level, he brings a rare combination of rigorous analytical thinking and pragmatic delivery focus that helps turn complex challenges into clear, user-focused solutions. Colleagues know him for rallying teams to meet deadlines and for obsessing about real user adoption—he enjoys projects where technical craftsmanship meets measurable product love. Based in Berlin, he’s equally comfortable shipping code, shaping product strategy, and advising at the intersection of UX, data and infrastructure.
