About

With a foundation in psychology and a Master's degree in Consumer Affairs from TUM School of Management, my career journey has led me through various industries, from the dynamic world of sports marketing at Peak Performance via challenging CX consulting at Kantar to pioneering in the pet care industry at Lila Loves It. Each role has honed my marketing acumen, leading me to embrace the challenge of revolutionizing the IP industry at PATOffice. As the CMO at PATOffice, I'm at the forefront of transforming how patents are utilized in competitor monitoring and technological advancements. Here, I'm not just pushing the boundaries of traditional marketing; I'm redefining them within the SaaS domain. My journey from trade and brand marketing to becoming an advocate for agile, dynamic, and transparent IP solutions illustrates a relentless pursuit of innovation and excellence. At PATOffice, we're not just navigating the future of patent intelligence; we're creating it—making it more accessible, intelligent, and user-friendly for industries worldwide. Join me in this journey as we continue to reshape the IP landscape, proving that with the right mix of passion and innovation, any industry can be revolutionized.
