Experienced Leader in Corporate Real Estate | Focused on Strategic Growth, Transformation & High-Impact Project Delivery

Zurich, Switzerland

About

With over 15 years of experience in Commercial Real Estate and high-growth industries, I bring a mix of strategic vision, entrepreneurial spirit and hands-on leadership. My focus is on advancing organizations in real estate-related fields and guiding them through transformation processes – drawing on broad cross-industry experience (Banking, Real Estate, Tech, Energy). I’m passionate about optimizing and expanding real estate resources, building collaborative work environments and delivering complex construction projects that enable growth and innovation. Focused on customer-centered stakeholder management, I’m driven by the ambition to move projects forward and deliver tangible results. Accustomed to working closely with C-level teams, I achieve outcomes in critical business areas that drive corporate success. Having built my own company, I understand what it takes to turn ideas into impact and growth into culture. Originally from Berlin, I’ve been based in Zurich for the past two years.
