About

I am an executive leader working at the intersection of industry, policy and emerging technologies, with a strong focus on trust, regulation and global value chains. As Managing Director of a German industry association, I represent and support companies in navigating an increasingly complex environment shaped by geopolitical shifts, regulatory developments and technological transformation. My work focuses in particular on the impact of artificial intelligence on traditional industries, the role of regulation as a strategic factor, and the growing importance of transparency and traceability in global supply chains. With a background spanning industry, academia and international association work, I have been actively involved in shaping dialogue between business, policymakers and global organisations. I strongly believe that the future competitiveness of industries will depend on their ability to combine technological innovation with trust, credibility and responsible frameworks.
