Bayreuth, Bavaria, Germany
I am currently completing a hands-on cybersecurity program at Masterschool, with a focus on Linux, Wireshark, network security, and threat analysis. With over 10 years of leadership experience in the food industry, I have successfully led teams and optimized operational processes — including digitalizing workflows, improving efficiency, and negotiating high-value B2B partnerships. My goal is to help organizations identify digital risks at an early stage, implement effective security measures, and foster a holistic security culture. I combine technical knowledge with entrepreneurial thinking, building bridges between real-world operations and modern IT security. Curious, solution-oriented, and always eager to close security gaps in a sustainable way. My interests include SOC analysis, vulnerability management, and security automation — always aiming to make cybersecurity practical, transparent, and effective.
