After graduating from highschool in Germany and studying in Germany, the USA and Australia, I started my professional career as a consultant at zeb. I took on various management roles in the zeb group and was part of the management team for five years. As a consultant, my focus has always been on the issues that concern CFOs, CROs and treasurers. Having started in the regional banking sector, it has expanded over the years to include larger European banks.

Having obtained my PhD, which I was able to complete as part of zeb's internal PhD program, I decided that I would like to focus on research and teaching again at a given time. In 2022, the opportunity arose to join the management of zeb.business school together with Prof. Michael Lister and Dr. Dominik Englisch. Today, I mainly focus on growth issues in the context of zeb.business school and only manage selected consulting projects.

I live with my family in Melbourne, Australia, and travel to Europe regularly.
