Bio
Dr. Christian Kurtzke
Georgia is an exceptional talent. I/we were lucky to see her potential a step ahead of (many) others and to offer her the right role at the right time: to shape, lead and mentor a multi-national financial organisation of one of the most exciting growth companies in the luxury-lifestyle agency sector. Looks like we made the right decision: Georgia built an impressive group finance team and carefully balances the acts of challenging her agency counterparts on one hand while mentoring them to grow their capabilities. The right recipe for nurturing success in an increasingly complex world. Thank you Georgia for having chosen us as your professional home, and looking forward to working many more years side-by-side with you. Needless to say that you are a great role model and will hopefully inspire many others to reach for the stars.
