About

I am an internationally oriented business graduate with hands-on experience in Southeast Asia and a strong interest in commercial growth and market development. My background combines international business studies, marketing exposure and entrepreneurial experience in digital marketplaces. Over the past years, I have developed a commercial mindset focused on customer acquisition, relationship building and strategic market positioning. Through my internship in Indonesia and my independent digital trading venture, I gained practical experience in targeted outreach, client communication, pricing strategy and cross-cultural business environments. I am particularly interested in business development, commercial strategy and international market expansion – especially within B2B and technology-driven industries such as AI. Long-term, I aim to contribute to international growth initiatives with a focus on APAC markets.
