Born in Northern Germany I moved to Munich to study chemistry at one of Germany´s best universities. An apprenticeship in Finland created interest in different cultures. Due to fluent Finnish and a good network I organized an EU-fellowship in a Finnish company, which was the base for my Ph.D. in natural sciences.

It is easy for me to communicate with people and I like to achieve results together with customers and colleagues and I changed into sales where I soon became sales trainer. This was an excellent base to build up my expertise in international sales and marketing resulting in successful projects on both local, regional and global level.

I very much like travelling and learning languages to be continuously challenged by the intercultural differences. After projects in Finland and the Netherlands I was curious to really live and work in another business culture and I moved to Denmark together with my life companion. Caused by our open and empathic personality we got easily new friends and are now well-established in our private and business life.
