Born in Bonn, I began my career with an apprenticeship and a study in electrical engineering. As a technician, I developed trade fair exhibits that combined technical know-how with presentation skills. I later switched to marketing and developed brand and sales strategies. Over the last twenty years, I have taken on specialist and management roles in marketing, business development and sales - always for technical products and services and most recently with a focus on renewable energies and hydrogen. My path combines technology, strategy and international leadership.
