Über mich

After having held technical consultancy roles as well as being director of customer services, I joined ESTECO as business development manager for the aerospace and defense markets. I’m also coordinator of the DGLR-Virtual International Group. I earned my bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering at the University of Applied Sciences in Bremen and my master’s degree in aeronautics and astronautics engineering at the Institute of Technology in Berlin. I’m a PMI certified project manager and member of AIAA. "The survival of the fittest is the ageless law of nature, but the fittest are rare the strong. The fittest are those endowed with the qualifications for adaption, the ability to accept the inevitable and conform to the unavoidance to harmonize with the existing or changing conditions." ~ Dave E. Smalley
