Since 2015, I have been building my career at Boehringer Ingelheim, one of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies with over 54,000 employees worldwide. I began through an integrated degree program combining academic studies, vocational training, and practical business experience, earning a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration and a Master's degree in Human Resources Management. Following a structured HR rotation program, I joined Talent Acquisition in 2019 and progressed from HR Senior Specialist Recruiting to Recruiter and Recruiting Manager. In these roles, I led end-to-end recruitment for senior and strategic positions within the Global Human Pharma organization, managing international hiring processes and partnering with stakeholders across multiple countries. Since August 2025, I have been serving as HR Business Partner for the German Human Pharma Business Unit, partnering with leaders across Marketing & Sales in the Cardio-Renal-Metabolic (CRM) Therapeutic Area as well as Market Access & Healthcare Affairs. My focus is on providing strategic HR counsel, driving organizational effectiveness, shaping talent strategies and enabling sustainable business performance in a dynamic healthcare environment. In addition, I gained international HR experience through an assignment in the United States, further strengthening my intercultural competence and global perspective.
