Marketing · Communications · German–Irish relations
I have worked in marketing, communications and international business events, helping bring people and opportunities together across borders. I enjoy building connections, communicating ideas clearly and helping businesses engage with new audiences in Germany and Ireland.
Having lived and worked in both countries, I bring an understanding of the legal and regulatory landscapes of Germany and Ireland, alongside the cultural differences that shape how businesses operate. I value strong relationships and communication that feels natural in either market.

Commercial growth · Talent solutions · Strategy
I studied business and economics in Germany and gained hands-on commercial experience working in Dublin at LinkedIn. That experience helped me understand how companies grow, hire and build lasting business relationships across markets.
My background also spans finance and regulatory-focused work in Germany. I bring a structured, commercially grounded approach to international expansion, recruitment challenges and connecting opportunities between Germany and Ireland.
