Describe your career path

Has it ever happened to you that you planned your way to point A and finally arrived at point B? Disclaimer: B is no less exciting than A!

Well, that was my previous professional and academic career.

I originally studied economics with the aim of becoming an economist. Between my bachelor's and master's degree, I completed an internship at the federal government, which confirmed my interest in economic matters. There I was also recommended to continue my master's degree in Basel. Which I did then. However, I had no idea that during my studies I would discover a new interest in new technologies (especially AI) and thus in business administration. Parallel to my master's degree, I worked for an energy company, where I was primarily involved in project and process management. The projects I worked on were very diverse and touched on many areas. So I decided to continue my consulting career so that I could continue my project management journey. Happy me... now I work at the interface of project management and exciting projects in public administration.

How would you describe yourself in one sentence?

A good description would be a summary of my answer to the next question:)

What do you enjoy about your free time?

Ugh, there is no particular job that makes me happy because I enjoy doing ten thousand things. The most important thing is that it is a new discovery every time. A new ski slope, a new restaurant, a new play (by the way, if you're in Cologne soon, I'd recommend that you discover the musical “Moulin Rouge”)!

Why is the earth round?

Because the pixels are so small that you can't see their corners.
