About Me

What sets me apart?

I’ve been working in sales and marketing since 2012, giving me well over a decade of hands-on experience. Over the years, I’ve seen countless trends, tools, and platforms rise and fall. My core focus has always been the intersection of marketing and data which today translates into a strong emphasis on strategy, performance marketing, and CRM.

My career

My professional career began in a highly analytical environment as a Sales & Marketing Analyst. In this phase I worked at Groupon and Zooplus. At that time, my focus was clearly on numbers, reporting, and process optimization.

I later joined Travador, where I took on the role of Head of Marketing & Business Intelligence. This period was both professionally and personally formative. In addition to leading marketing and BI, I was awarded the EXIST start-up grant during this time. Together with a team, we developed a gaming platform for amateur players. Technically, we built a powerful platform and acquired a substantial user base. However, despite this progress, we were unable to secure an investor or establish the project as a sustainable business. A challenging but incredibly valuable learning experience.

In August 2017, I co-founded BeastBI GmbH with Tiberiu Novac. Over several years, I served as Managing Director, leading numerous online marketing and analytics projects. I continue to support BeastBI today in selected projects, particularly in sales and marketing.

After around four years as Managing Director, I gradually shifted my focus toward independent interim and consulting mandates. During this time, I had the opportunity to work with companies such as Starcom, ZEISS, and other well-known brands.

Today, I primarily work as an Interim Head of Marketing, Senior Marketing or CRM Consultant - combining strategic responsibility with hands-on execution.

My way of working

It’s not what you do, it’s how you do it. 

I work in a very analytically and structured way. Every decision and every actions I propose or implement follows a clear plan.

At the same time, I strongly value a pragmatic, hands-on approach. Topics aren’t overanalyzed or inflated with theory they get executed with speed and power.

I operate by the 80/20 principle: focus on the actions that drive the greatest impact. For me, efficiency matters more than looking busy. Solving a problem cleanly and quickly is far more valuable than spending excessive time without meaningful progress.

Time - both mine and my clients’ - is a limited resource. I treat it with focus, responsibility, and clear priorities.

Explore my blog & get to know me a bit more personally

I’ve traveled to more than 50 countries and relocated to Dubai, UAE, at the end of 2022. I’ve also spent several months working as a digital nomad, gaining first-hand experience with international and remote work models.

Despite being based abroad, I regularly spend time in Germany to maintain close connections with family, friends, and business partners. I’m fluent in English and comfortable operating in international and cross-cultural environments.

Overall, I see myself as someone who adapts quickly to new situations and challenges.

On my blog, I write about topics such as remote work, self-management, and the structural shifts in modern work environments including a critical perspective on the phenomenon of so-called “fake jobs.”
