RWTH Aachen University

• Assistant Professor

  • Jul 2011 - May 2015

  At RWTH Aachen, I started out as Phd student at the newly established Chair for Business Administration for Engineers and Scientist. After studying at a pure business school, the breadth of topics at one of Germany's top engineering schools became an exciting field to explore entrepreneurship in a variety of ways: 1) growing the technology transfer activities of RWTH Center for Entrepreneurship with EXIST grants, 2) starting to teach, coach and research active and future technology entrepreneurs in their spin-off process, and 3) eventually joining a technology start-up myself. As assistant professor I then had the opportunity to further qualify for the academic arena, working together with doctoral students and international colleagues on entrepreneurial decision-making under uncertainty.

  At 3M, I had the amazing opportunity to learn about corporate world, innovation and management at an early age. Besides moving through a set of different business administration functions, I also had the opportunity to join the work council as trainee representative, allowing for insights into higher level managerial decision-making. In addition, I saw the new technology center take shape right next to the German headquarter.
