Summary
After a solid education in electrical engineering and subsequent further training, I started my career in the professional lighting business by an innovative lighting manufacturer in the technical support team. In the context of constantly setting new goals, I was given more and more responsibility in new positions. To get closer to my goal in “international project managment”, changing the company was also a matter of course for me in connection with change of location. I has always been my aim, to be able to take on ever greater responsibility within the company. It was also an important goal for me to be able to take on a responible task abroad, which was made possible by my stay abroad in the US and Canada. After my return in 1999 from the US to Germany, I founded an own design and sales agency fopr lighting solutions, multimedia concepts and lighting and building controls. In the further course of my career, I was offered new management positions from prestigious lighting manufacturer. There I use my career experience and skills very well and successfully. I live for the medium light and have always been loyal to the lighting industry.
