About Me
Making the right decisions in a more and more complex and globalized world – this is the challenge of today’s and future’s managers of internationally acting companies. I prepare myself for this task both on an educational and a professional basis. Being part of the CEMS program, I benefit from an outstanding management education in an international environment. And having acquired work experience at the Austrian Centre for Foreign Trade in Prague, at PwC in Vienna, at BMW in Munich and at Groupe SEB in Lyon, I broaden my horizon every day a little more and enhance my ability to think out of the box.
I am available for internships with a duration of 2-3 months or entry-level positions starting July 2019. I am looking forward to interesting contacts.
