Expertise

Growing up in a business environment spiked my interest in entrepreneurship. During my international business studies at the Vienna University of Economics and Business, my focus was on finance and financial markets. Later, I developed an even stronger fascination: marketing, customer relations and sales.

Today, I share my experiences as a speaker at international events and a lecturer for a consultant Master’s program. I’m a Certified Scrum Master, Agile Leader (level II, International Scrum Alliance) and Design Thinking Practitioner (HPI Academy/D-School, Potsdam, Germany).

 

Career

I started out in customer relations at a company that was undergoing a comprehensive business transformation. Since then, my focus has been on management and leadership, in particular in the context of business transformation. Later, I developed the corporate client base of an international business school. As a next step, I helped the school expand its business to Eastern Europe, working with scientists from MIT, Stanford, Harvard, etc. During that time, I gained invaluable experience about what it means to take on responsibility for management and leadership in organizations and international corporations.
