About

Cooperation creates undreamed of possibilities. That’s my major source of motivation and inspiration. Which fits perfectly well with the fact, that cooperation is at the core of my daily work – and what I can help you with. I create trainings, knowledge-sharing and international networking, that can assist you in succeeding in your international business. I have 20 years of experience in working with trainings, international cooperation, network, events, project management, team leadership, conducting meetings, HR, communications and presentations. My German background and my international experience supplies me with a sensitive radar regarding cultural differences and cooperation across cultures. Would you like to hear more?
