Summary
Sabine Geithner is a seasoned mobile engineering leader with 11 years of experience, currently heading mobile development and community at IBM iX in Berlin. She blends hands-on iOS engineering—shipping products like Bertha Pay and building performant map and syncing features—with people leadership, hiring, and conflict-resolution skills as a disciplinary lead for mobile teams. Sabine has a strong track record of creating structures that scale: instituting meeting cadences, hiring processes to reduce bias, and a community-managed knowledge base that keeps distributed teams aligned. As Partner & Chair of UIKonf she connects the global iOS community, and her background in biotechnology and marketing gives her an unusual cross-disciplinary perspective on product and user needs. Always learning, she is expanding into React Native while continuing to mentor and grow technical talent.
