Hey there, my name is Philipp Steinlechner. I currently work as a Digital Product Manager at INNIO where we develop myPlant. Due to my studies, I have a strong background in Business and Economics but my working experience at Swarovski, Würth Hochenburger and INNIO has led me to become an expert in the digital field.
Here is my education, work experience, & some facts about me.
August 2022 - Present
To break down the barrier between Business & IT, INNIO has created a dedicated Digital Team, which I joined in August 2022. The focus of our team is to bring digital solutions to customers as well as employees. These solutions range from remotely monitoring and operating the engines over providing AI-driven engine insights that improve performance to optimizing the entire energy plant by smartly deciding when to start and stop the engine. You'll find more information on our solutions on our myPlant website. I'm happy to have taken on this role as a Digital Product Manager.
June 2021 - July 2022
The COVID-19 crisis had a significant impact on the building materials industry. One of the consequences of these dynamics was the call for digitalization. When it comes to selling products, this process typically starts with launching a central product information management system (PIM), from which you can build applications like an online shop or various other sales channels. This PIM system is exactly what we are building so that Würth Hochenburger will eventually have its own online shop.
September 2020 - May 2021
In 2020, I decided to move on from Swarovski and take on a new challenge at Feratel in Innsbruck. I received the opportunity to head a new department called Keyone, which helped apartment owners to rent out their apartments to tourists.
June 2017 - August 2020
After my six month internship, I was glad to stay at Swarovski because of the working environment at Swarovski, my colleagues and the great work I feel we accomplished. I worked in the e-business team, which maintains and advances both B2B and B2C ecommerce systems for Swarovski.
October 2014 - December 2018
In 2014, I started to study International Business and Economics at the University of Innsbruck (SoWi). I majored in Finance while I chose Strategic Management as my minor.
In 2018, I wrote my thesis "Does investor interest for Bitcoin impact the cryptocurrency markets?" at the Department of Banking and Finance. You can read it here.
August 2016 - May 2017
After the first two years of my studies, I spent one year abroad in New Orleans. There, I studied at the Tulane University for two semesters and completed my major and minor courses.
