Benedikt Liebig
Product Manager
Berlin | Germany
Biography
Since being introduced to the public sector by the Tech4Germany Fellowship back in 2020, I strive to empower the government to think and act digital, data-driven, service oriented, and human-centric. I do this by facilitating interdisciplinary teams and empowering public servants as a product manager.
My team and I spent the last two years creating and iterating the German government's "Digitalcheck" to create an environment that enables the drafting of digital-ready policy.
