Innovation und Entwicklung am Puls der Zeit
 
Innovation and Development at the Pulse of Time
 
 

To accompany in new and further development is my passion

Due to my school and University education (Business College; Master in international Business Sciences (Mag.rer.soc.oec.); Doctor degree in Social & Economic Sciences) I have gained a solid economic competence.  

The new and further development of products, organizations and regions on a regional, national and European level have been in focus of my professional career for more than 20 years. In doing so, it is very important to me to combine strategic-impact-oriented considerations with operational experience.
