Managing Director, Corporate Reputation & Head of Industrials

• Feb 2015 - Oct 2021

With 20 years of experience in global communications, my perception that "PR is more than a profession, it’s a passion" has not changed. In 2015, I joined Hill + Knowlton Strategies as Director and head of industrial practice based in Düsseldorf. My role is providing business-to-human communication and strategic counsel to a variety of clients in both industrial and consumer goods. My strengths are international communications with a focus on consultancy for industrial players including the automotive sector. My expertise covers corporate communications, crisis and issues management, change and internal comms and a focus on multinational communication structures. I worked five years with international PR firms Hill + Knowlton and Burson-Marsteller in Frankfurt before moving into corporate PR from 2001 to 2007, serving as Communications Manager Germany and East Europe for global automotive supplier Visteon in Cologne/Kerpen. Before joining H+K Strategies, I worked as managing director for a communication consultancy specializing in the automotive industry. My previous client experience includes industry, retail, consumer and luxury brands. I completed my university Master's degree in International Cultural and Business Studies at the University of Passau in Germany and complemented this with further studies in Canada and Venezuela. My monther tongue is German and I am fluent in English and have a functional command of Spanish and French. I am interested in intercultural management, and enjoy long-distance running, scuba diving and cooking. Show less
