Professional Biography

Positive, pragmatic and solution-oriented: that is how I work. With nearly 20 years of experience supporting senior leadership and executive management, structure, clarity and delivery are central to my approach. In complex environments, I ensure clear prioritisation, thorough preparation of decision-making and effective execution of plans. I act as a sparring partner to leadership, translating strategic objectives into actionable plans and realistic timelines. My role goes beyond traditional support: I optimise processes, take ownership of projects and actively contribute to business development, while safeguarding the quality and consistency of both internal and external communication.

I organise high-level client meetings, strategic sessions and internal events from concept through to execution, with strong attention to content and presentation. With a background in graphic design and marketing, I ensure that communication and presentation align seamlessly with the organisation’s ambitions. I connect people, create clarity and maintain focus, enabling management to concentrate on strategy and results.
