With over 15 years of experience across sales, business development, and sustainability strategy, I bring a rare combination of commercial acumen and environmental expertise to complex organisations. My career started in international Key Account Management at Südwolle Group, where I built long-term B2B partnerships across global markets. Over time, I took on increasing strategic responsibility — ultimately leading the development of a sustainability-focused spin-off, bridging supply chain management, circularity, and digital innovation. This hands-on experience of building sustainability from within a business shaped my conviction: environmental strategy only creates lasting value when it is deeply integrated into business operations — not treated as a compliance exercise. Today, as Senior Manager Environmental Protection at Siemens, I drive circular economy initiatives, CSRD alignment, and environmental programmes at scale. Previously at UVEX, I led strategic sustainability development across the organisation. My strength lies in translating complex sustainability requirements into actionable business strategy — and in building the cross-functional partnerships that make implementation stick.
