About me

Startups need more than a great idea. They need clarity, visibility, and the right connections. That’s where I come in.

For over 10 years, I’ve worked at the intersection of politics, business, and communication – currently as Deputy Spokesperson and Head of Digital Communications at the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs. I know how political decisions are made and how startups can get noticed and supported by the right people – from local authorities to EU regulators.

I offer hands-on support in two key areas:

👉 Public Affairs: I help startups navigate the political and regulatory landscape, connect with decision-makers, and build strong stakeholder networks.

👉 Communication: From media work and crisis comms to LinkedIn strategy, photos, and video – I help startups tell their story and show up strong in public.

Bottom line: I love working with founders who want to change things – and I bring the experience, network, and energy to help them do it.
