People and leadership fascinate me. Every coordinates system – in family-owned enterprises, major groups of companies, politics or even in digital working environments – is different. Good leadership requires professional qualifications and management competence, but first and foremost, personality and leadership style must fit with the relevant company and its culture. The right people in the right positions makes all the difference here. Finding the right person – that is my goal. Staffing top positions with exactly the right fit requires a systematic market evaluation and a smart selection process. At the same time, this should always include a certain level of ease – I lead executive searches to success with this conviction.

I have been working as a personnel consultant since 2006 and today as a partner I am an entrepreneur myself. I primarily advise large and medium-sized family-owned enterprises on the appointment of key leadership and advisory board positions. At the beginning of my career, as a partner in an international executive search firm, my focus lay on cross-industry CFO searches, the financial services sector, and professional associations. In my collaboration with family businesses, professionalism and experience are essential – yet I place particular value on reliability, loyalty and trust. I am fully aware of my responsibility towards both clients and candidates and act as a sincere and empathetic sparring partner throughout the process.

I bring along extensive management know-how to personnel consulting. After completing my studies in law in Würzburg and Great Britain with positions at the German Federal Parliament (Bundestag) and the United Nations as well as obtaining my doctorate in international law, I began my professional career as an assistant to the board of directors at the Allianz Group. I took over the management of various sales regions and strategic management responsibilities there within the framework of the integration of Dresdner Bank into the Allianz Group. In politics, I have held various mandates at municipal and state level.

I am married, have two children and am interested in politics, cultures and contemporary art.
