About

Graduated master student in Industrial Engineering and management from Karlsruher Institut of Technology with various experience in Germany and abroad. I started my professional career as a trainee in technical sales. I followed my passion for sales and was working as a group leader for an international Service Sales Team for several years after leading a team for Digital Services. Within the team we are actively developed and pushed sales initiatives worldwide together with our colleagues in the countries. Furthermore I had the opportunity to take over the project lead for the business field analysis industrial controls and pumps. This includes leading a strategic and operative project to push sales, the international production network, cost, product teams as well as portfolio decisions with direct reporting to the board of management.
