About me

Driving innovation and strategic transformation for organizational growth and business success – this is what I am passionate about. With over 26 years of experience as a consultant, researcher, lecturer, and manager in innovation management, I specialize in understanding human needs, fostering collaboration, and creating value at the intersection of industry, research, and education.

As part of the dual leadership team at ESS, I am primarily responsible for services offered to researchers, early-stage startups, and students. Additionally, I oversee controlling, reporting, and the management of ESS-operated locations, including the CUBE, K26, and KIT’s presence at the Zeiss Innovation Hub.
