About

🔗 Thinking Across Geopolitics, Technology & Economics With a background in Industrial Engineering and Aerospace Technology, currently pursuing a Master’s in Politics & Technology at TUM, I combine technical and economic expertise with a strong understanding of international politics, regulation, and digital transformation. My focus lies on political economy, international relations, and technology governance – the intersections where geopolitics, markets, and future technologies meet. 💼 Strategic & Practice-Oriented I have gained practical experience in project management at BMW and in Strategy & Business Development at Knorr-Bremse, where I worked on market and competitive analyses, business cases, and M&A screenings, as well as developing decision support for top management. I have also taken on early leadership responsibility as the head of an intern team at BMW and as deputy chairman of a cultural association. 🌍 Motivation & Working Style I am driven by the question of how economic and foreign policy, together with technological innovation, shape the future of society and the economy. I work in a structured, analytical, and solution-oriented manner to translate complex interrelations into concrete strategies and decisions.
