Professional Journey
Mittelmeier trained as an industrial engineer. His employers before 2021 included Siemens, the Porsche Consulting Group and Little Bird, which publicly described him as its CFO. Immediately before Lymb.io he was CFO of Ryte, the website analysis software company. He has also advised several start-ups.
In October 2021 he moved from finance into general management. He became co-CEO of Lymb.io, a Munich sports-technology company founded in 2016 as “Fun with balls”, which had built interactive play walls for sports facilities, schools, hotels and shopping centres. The pandemic had wiped out that business-to-business market, and Lymb.io was changing course to sell its game console to consumers. Mittelmeier ran the company alongside founder Markos Aristides Kern, saying he looked forward to driving its mission of “making sport, health and fitness more fun for everyone”.
He is now Chief Financial Officer of Parloa. The company builds an AI agent management platform for customer experience. Its selling point is conversational AI that enterprises can design and deploy without heavy coding. Parloa has grown quickly. Its January 2026 Series D raised $350 million led by General Catalyst, with EQT Ventures, Altimeter Capital, Durable Capital Partners and Mosaic Ventures also taking part, and valued the company at $3 billion. Parloa has made New York its headquarters while keeping offices in Berlin and Munich. The date he joined Parloa has not been published.
Outside business, Mittelmeier was a competitive sailor. He was part of the German national sailing team from 2001 to 2008 and won the German championship three times.
