Über mich

I welcome the opportunity to network, share advice and contacts with others in the Xing community. You will get to know me as someone who loves being the go-to guide to bring others to the top of their “mountains”. I believe in the individual potential of team members and the power of collaboration across borders (teams, companies, and geographies) to achieve amazing things together. Being a strong problem solver who anticipates potential scenarios, I am not afraid to roll up my sleeves to develop innovative but pragmatic solutions without losing the bigger picture. Always keeping a positive energy while getting the job done, even in hectic times, is important to me. Driving change works best through shared purpose and open communication, having people’s needs and concerns in mind. We spend so much time at work – we should have fun doing it.
