Summary
Timo Kranz is a seasoned technology and product executive based in Hamburg with 15 years of experience scaling startups and leading product-led engineering teams. Currently Senior Vice President Tech & Product at zvoove Cleaning GmbH, he has a long entrepreneurial track record as founder and managing partner across multiple ventures (fortytools, Leiterkontor UVM, Penseo) where he merged product strategy with hands-on engineering. Trained in media informatics and computer science, he combines creative multimedia sensibilities with rigorous technical leadership, a blend reflected in early roles as a programmer and multimedia designer. Known for pragmatic delivery, he often translates policy and digital intersections into product direction—an underappreciated strength given his interest in “Digitales und Politik.” He emphasizes operational ownership and clear execution—aptly hinted by his GitHub motto “Schreiben Sie's auf, wir kümmern uns drum!” which underscores a bias for turning ideas into shipped outcomes.
