Summary

  • Interim manager in areas of events, marketing and sales for online/offline events, (live) communication and business development
  • Industry focus: public companies, associations, consulting, banks, financial services, transportation, pharma and further education
  • Over 10 years in B2B marketing at decision-maker level (C-Level, owners, managing directors)
  • Structured, agile way of working, enthusiastic and willing
  • "Authentic, trustworthy, reliable – and with heart" (customer quote)

As a trained event management clerk and specialist in B2B service marketing, my focus is on live communication, especially exclusive events, conferences and trade fairs. Since 2018, I have also regularly managed digital event formats and, from spring 2020, have continuously designed and organized projects in the digital and hybrid area. Most recently, I built and launched a corporate studio.

I have project experience as an employee, interim manager, freelancer, consultant and organizer. I have worked for international corporations as well as for medium-sized companies and public institutions.

My focus is on the emotional anchor – events with a wow effect. Participants should feel individually well taken care of, experience a special atmosphere and share this emotional moment with others – online as well as offline!
