About.
I advise leaders, boards and institutions operating under sustained public, political and market scrutiny on clarity, trust and decision-making. My work sits at the intersection of governance, reputation, international affairs and communications. I am typically engaged when complexity, ambiguity or transformation requires judgement calls rather than messaging — and when communications has become a governance issue rather than a support function.
I work internationally, primarily between the UK and Germany, with corporate and institutional clients in highly regulated and high-stakes environments.
Since 2012, I have run my own advisory practice, supporting organisations in complex and sensitive contexts. My work includes governance-level communications advisory, conflict management and mediation (UK-accredited), support in strategic decision-making, and the design and leadership of Client Advisory Boards. I am often engaged where leadership must navigate competing stakeholder expectations, regulatory scrutiny, reputational risk or cross-border complexity.
I work with senior leaders across finance, industry and institutional environments. My clients include the Federation of German Industries, Euro Finance Week (Frankfurt), Deutsche Bank, UBS, Bank of New York Mellon, Luxembourg for Finance, the Dutch Development Bank FMO, Ergo Insurance, State Street, Scope Ratings, Allianz Global Assistance, Wacom and the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
Much of my work takes place in senior-level public and private forums involving CEOs, board members and policymakers. This includes long-term involvement with flagship European finance and institutional platforms, as well as facilitating closed-door and public discussions at moments of strategic importance.
Before focusing fully on advisory work, I spent more than a decade at Bloomberg Global Television in London, where I was one of the European faces of the channel, presenting live in English and German. I covered European summits and global economic developments and conducted interviews with senior figures from business and politics. During and after the global financial crisis, I moderated the series Credit Quake: Europe on the Abyss, examining the collapse of Lehman Brothers and its consequences for international financial markets. The series was nominated for an AIB award in 2009.
Alongside my advisory work, my portfolio background includes on-camera work, voiceover and digital hosting, as well as selected acting roles. In 2015, I made my screen debut in the role of the Austrian Chancellor’s wife in Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation.
I studied International Business Management and Applied World Business Languages with a focus on China and the financial sector, and spent time studying and working in Shanghai. I am bilingual in English and German and also speak Italian, French and Mandarin Chinese. I am an accredited mediator and a member of the UK’s Civil Mediation Council.
I was born and raised in Northern Bavaria, Germany, and have lived and worked across Europe and China. After stations in Switzerland, France, Italy and Ukraine, London became my home in 2001. Since 2016, I have lived between Great Britain and Germany.
Alongside my professional work, I engage in yoga and shamanic studies and am certified as a Kundalini Yoga teacher and Shamanic Practitioner. When time allows, I exchange high heels for wellies and tend my family’s garden, growing my own vegetables.
