Story teller on a mission

People call me a firebrand, a creative storyteller and consumer champion, who challenges brands to be not just strategically stronger, but meaningful and relatable to start with. I am driven by positive transformation - not just at the level of an advertising campaign, but meaningful improvements from the product up. 

Dare to embrace difference

As a seasoned brand builder and inclusive leader, I am finely tuned to the emotional and rational needs of people, culture, and society in general. Throughout my career diversity and inclusion are weaved into my daily routine, coaching my teams, as well as C-suite members to embrace difference for better business results.

Sparking creativity in everyone

Creativity and music brought me to my beloved city Berlin, allowing me to work on the tipping point of tech, contemporary art, and pop culture. Having the pleasure to lead creative and brand marketing teams at agencies, global corporations, start-ups, scale-ups, as an entrepreneur, and have worked with internationally acclaimed agencies and artists.

Plug and play consultancy. 

With over 15 years of leadership and award-winning experience for renowned brands across automotive, big data, entertainment, fashion, fintech, FMCG, tech, music, and pop culture I can confidentially say I am 'plug and play'. Hire me to spark creative thinking in your C-suite or work with your teams to tackle brand strategy, brand design, and marketing campaigns."
