about me.
Now about me.
Shaping, driving and acting responsibly
I have more than 25 years of management experience. This is my basis for taking on challenging tasks and complex projects in the capacity of a partner, on the management board or as head of department.
Fellow companions describe me as a person with substantial creative power and the ultimate orientation towards goals. My comprehensive knowledge and many years of experience across the entire spectrum of communication enables me to be an innovator, an advisor and a discussion and sparring partner “on an equal footing”.
Respectful interaction with everyone in my environment is essential for me and the key to successful cooperation. This is how I succeed in inspiring, motivating and engaging people at all hierarchical levels.
My guiding principle: „Let´s walk the talk!“

Female Board Pool
The Female Board Pool is a local initiative, supported by the non-profit MCMC a.s.b.l., connected internationally and founded on the research of the Centre for Corporate Governance at the University of St. Gallen, Switzerland. The Female Board Pool has more than 700 profiles of “board-ready” or “board-experienced” women from all sectors: private, public and non-profit associations, asserting skills and experiences in all aspects. It is an initiative since 2010 endorsed by the Luxembourg Ministry of Equal opportunities and in meantime run in Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands and Denmark.
The valuable potential of women is still being underused on board of directors. The Female Board Pool’s goal is to considerably increase the proportion of competent and dedicated women on the boards of directors of companies to bolster its effectiveness.
The Female Board Pool aims
- to highlight the available competencies and potentials for all sectors as well as private and public corporations
- to create a targeted and sustainable network
- to promote competence by providing visibility
- to create contacts beyond the beaten paths for the benefit of companies and organisations
“Women neither want to meet the quota nor do they want to displace qualified men. We want to take responsibility, shape value-oriented leadership, bring in our talents and thus generate added value for the entire society. In doing so, women should support women. The Female Board Pool, to me, implements this goal consistently and with passion.”

Voluntary commitment
Frankfurt School of Finance & Management
The one-to-one mentoring programme at Frankfurt School is aimed at all students of the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science and Management programmes. An FS graduate (as mentor) accompanies a student for two semesters. The mentor and student form a tandem.
The aim is to support students in their development. Mentees receive assistance with decision making, constructive feedback and learn the unwritten rules of the game.
“It became to me a mission helping young people to understand the impact of decisions taken today for the rest of their lives. Sharing with them my experience, supporting them to find their way, not to save them, is rewarding. My mentees learn, but equally do I.”

The focus of its work is the development and organisation of pan-European competitions and presentations for mentors, mentees and sponsors.
“I want to pass on my personal and professional experiences to the younger generations – to the next generation – and by that encouraging mentees to engage in political, social and economic dialogues. To venture into innovation, even if it gets bumpy.”
