Project Manager
Expertise
Some call it "strategic CSR", some call it "social business", for some it is just business as usual. No matter how you call it: How can a business be profitable and “good” at the same time? What does it take to adapt sustainable strategies around the globe? This is in the center of my interest.
Joy at Work
- Finding creative solutions for start ups or new business models in the sustainable and development context
- Integrating sustainable ideas into business models and products
- Cooperate with bright, open-minded people
Previous Experience
- During my six years as project manager at “Virteo GmbH”, an international business development consultancy, I supported small and medium enterprises in developing strategies to enter new markets and made sure that the plans were put to work.
- My work at “Peters Bildungsgruppe”, a German vocational training institution, shares a similar focus: to develop educational programs for developing and emerging countries.
- In addition to that, I have a strong background in marketing and (new media) communication. At the start of my professional career I worked as marketing manager for the internet start-up “trade2b.com AG”. After that I was chief editor for the foreign trade web portal VirteoNet and I am still working frequently as a journalist for magazines like for example the "Afrikapost".

- Diploma in International Business and Regional Studies, University of Passau (including studies at Universidad de Granada, Spain and Middlesex University, London / UK)
