About

Having worked in various fields – from CRO to data analytics, measurement, SEO, and MarTech, as well as building a successful department in an international marketing agency from scratch – I learned that I need both: “in-depth technical stuff” and strategic challenges. The intersection between what drives me and what provides benefits to the companies I have worked for is the optimization of an existing status quo by analyzing, defining levers, deriving strategies, and implementing measures. In this respect, I am thankful to have been able to learn a lot by supporting a variety of business models over the last 15 years – from local to national to brands that make billions worldwide. As one of my personal highlights, working as an external expert for one of the Big 3 in management consulting not only helped me deepen my expertise in marketing but also broadened my horizon regarding what is important when creating new brands from scratch or optimizing international business models in various countries. Using cross-departmental knowledge to solve complex problems and facilitate understanding is one part of what fuels my motivation. The second part is seeing colleagues develop through an inclusive leadership approach that encourages participation – gaining knowledge and expertise, but also growing in confidence and becoming more critical thinkers. Transitioning from 12 years in international agencies to an enterprise in private education felt like a natural progression, as continuous learning and improvement have been central to my career. I also believe in sharing insights and knowledge, as it fosters both individual and organizational growth.
