As Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Deutsche Telekom Privatkunden-Vertrieb GmbH, I see myself as the link between finance, operations, marketing and HR. Always clearly focused on the bottom line as a business partner and co-pilot for the CEO and Sales.

With more than 15 years of experience in various management positions at Deutsche Telekom and other renowned companies, I have broad expertise in the areas of strategy, mergers & acquisitions, financial management, controlling, reporting and risk management. I am a passionate and committed leader who loves to find innovative solutions to complex challenges, initiate and drive change, and inspire and motivate teams. Diversity, equal opportunities and female leadership are not just buzzwords for me, but lived values that I actively promote and support in my organization and beyond.

I enjoy a vibrant network here on LinkedIn and like meeting new people and new perspectives.
