About

I'm a seasoned business professional, executive coach & yoga trainer, with over 25 years of international business experience in Procurement, Supply Cain, Industrial Engineering, Marketing and Internal Audit - ranging from operational to executive leadership roles at local, regional and global levels.

I have lived in Western Europe, the United States, China and Singapore, and traveled the world extensively working in the pharmaceutical industry, consumer products, medical devices / diagnostic and engineering consulting as a team lead, head of department, director and vice president.

My extensive corporate experience, gained through working with several world-leading companies, has taken me from the Linde Group in my native Germany, to BSH Bosch and Siemens Home Appliances based in the USA and Spain, before serving as Vice President of Procurement for Asia-Pacific at Roche Diagnostics & Pharmaceuticals and Head of Procurement for Emerging Markets (Asia, Greater China, Latin America, Russia/CIS, Middle East) for Takeda Pharmaceuticals.

I'm a graduate of the University of Applied Sciences in Rosenheim / Germany where I studied international business administration. I continued my education at INSEAD in Singapore,  the London Business School and at the Henley University in the UK.

In my spare time I enjoy mountaineering, running, yoga and entertaining friends and family. With my partner, I travel the world and love exploring new cultures and culinary experiences.
