About me
Until June 2012, I worked for Carl Zeiss Vision in various roles and countries. I really enjoyed working in a corporate and international environment, especially within project management. My interest in food and desire to develop my understanding of another culture led me to change this path.
I have just finished my Master in Food Culture and Communication at the Università degli Studi di Scienze Gastronomiche in Pollenzo. This one-year course provided me with all aspects about food that one can possibly imagine.
I would love to combine my interest and passion for food with my background in international sales and marketing within the food industry.
In 2011, I started a coaching degree that has helped me develop my leadership and mentoring skills - I believe that good communication and relationships between colleagues and customers is a crucial prerequisite to commercial success. Additionally it was great fun to work with other people on new communication strategies; this is why I am continuing to learn more about coaching.
