About

I am the Country Manager Germany and VP Central Europe at Google, leading Google's business and operations in a region that covers a broad range of exciting countries and markets. Before joining Google, I was the CEO of Zanox (today: AWin), the leading European affiliate marketing network that connects digital advertisers and publishers. Previously, over the course of a decade, I held a number of executive roles at eBay and PayPal, including as MD Germany, SVP Europe, SVP US Auctions, and SVP Global Markets.
