CFO & CPO, terra infrastructure GmbH
I am an empowering, lateral-thinking businesswoman. I create a value-based performance culture. I am an achiever, arranger and activator, and focus on things that are important in the future. I get things done. The common thread in my life has always been working with people, executing what's needed, integrating and unleashing potential, as well as setting structures systematically for growth. In my professional career I had the chance to work in corporate settings, be a sole proprietor and also build-up companies. For me personally, a company's success is always connected to its resources - by this you need to keep in mind that culture eats strategy for breakfast. So as a leader it is my aim to empower people and thus support the business to be more successful and gain growth. I am German and love working in Germany. I wish to see a German economy that is courageous, acts humanely and is successfull in the world economy by thinking mutually, solution-oriented, pragmatic and sustainable.
