About Me

15 years of hiring experience, now on your side.

About Me

A career takes around 90,000 hours of our lives, more than 10 full years if we never took a break. Somewhere along the way, we were promised that if we chased the rainbow long enough, merit would lead to a pot of gold. But working harder isn’t the only option, and finding your way isn’t always about how smart you are.

For 15 years, I worked in Talent Acquisition across German and European tech. As a foreigner myself, I was always curious about the people behind the CVs, the underdog vs. ex-McKinsey ex-Spotify types.

I saw what shapes a career beyond talent. I met leaders who brought people together, and leaders who made people leave great companies just to get away from them.

Now I create space for you to reconnect with yourself, listen to your needs first, and look at your reality without judgement or limiting beliefs. I get to work with people who no longer accept that their careers simply happen to them, and I’m grateful to be part of that.

I’m an ICF Associate Certified Coach (ACC) and founder of Growth & Career Coaching in Berlin. Before coaching, I held a Director-level Talent Acquisition role at TeamViewer, led team hiring for EdTech in IU Group, conducted 5,000+ interviews and was part of countless hiring decisions.

Today, I coach senior and lead international professionals through career and growth decisions, with clarity instead of pressure.

Who I Work With

I work with experienced international professionals and leaders across Germany and Europe who want to shape their careers with intention, not just momentum.

If something feels off, you’re in the right place.

Maybe the role that once excited you has stopped stretching you, or the work isn’t what it used to be. You might not be sure what you want next, or whether it’s too late to change. You’ve been pushing for a long time, and adding more discipline no longer seems like the answer.

As a growth and career coach, I help you slow down long enough to see what’s really going on: what matters to you now, what’s holding you back, and which possibilities you haven’t let yourself consider yet. From there, we build a direction you trust.
