- Interim manager in the areas of event, marketing, and sales for online/offline events, (live) communication, and business development
- Industry focus on public companies, associations, consulting, banks, financial services providers, transportation, pharmaceutical, and continuing education
- Over 10 years active in B2B marketing at decision-maker level (C-level, owners, managing directors)

- "Authentic, trustworthy, reliable – and with heart" (client quote)
As a specialist in service marketing in B2B, my focus is on live communication, particularly exclusive events, conferences, and trade fairs. Since 2018, I have additionally regularly managed digital event formats and, from spring 2020 onwards, continuously conceptualized and organized projects in the digital and hybrid sectors. Most recently, I built and commissioned 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 cared for, experience a special atmosphere, and share this emotional moment with others – online and offline!
