About

I grew up in Hamburg, Germany, and now find myself as Project Manager Front Office at Uniper Energy Sales GmbH shaping the future of sales strategies and industry energy solutions. In my previous role as Market Intelligence & Risk Manager, I supervised the Wintershall Dea AG’s M&A process with Harbour Energy as PMO member and Supply Chain expert. In 2023, I successfully completed the WD Talent Circle. My academic background lies in Innovation Management & Entrepreneurship from the Alliance Manchester Business School, where I gained insights into the field of high-tech entrepreneurship, investment appraisal for innovation, as well as innovation management. I also have a bachelor's degree in international management from the Kuehne Logistics University, and I have studied at several renowned educational institutions in New York, Amsterdam, Dubrovnik, Hamburg, and Manchester. My core competencies include cross-functional coordination, presentation skills, and strategy. I am passionate about innovation management and global challenges, emerging technologies, and governance. I exhibit an open-minded and committed mentality and am eager to learn and adapt to different environments. I aspire to contribute to the transformation of businesses and industries through innovation and collaboration.
