FOR THE ENDURING:

As a true "Kölsche Jung" (Cologne native), my father – as one of the first operators of a training ground for driving safety courses – shaped my career aspirations early on.

With gasoline in my blood, I learned to ride motorcycles at a young age and usually found school more boring than my father's events at the training ground in the Rhineland or at the Nürburgring.

Even before I had my driver's license, I was a trained driving instructor and already gained considerable event experience for my age. I could hardly wait to finish school and eagerly took on my first professional challenges. A brief detour into the IT industry was quickly ended by the opportunity for early self-employment.

Conceiving, preparing, and implementing a complete event independently – no problem! But I am just as happy to serve the greater good and contribute to the overall success as a member of a large team and with partial responsibility for a trade or a location.

For over 20 years now, I have been planning and organizing events worldwide, with a focus on the automotive industry.

FOR ALL:

With my locations in Hamburg, Cologne, and Vienna, I am flexible not only in terms of time but also space.

I look forward to your contact and exciting projects!

Renault Sport Track Days

September 2015 - September 2015 (1 month)
Wien, Austria
Trainer's heart, what more could you want? One of the most beautiful race tracks in the world, a colorful mix of drivers & vehicles, and crisp sporty pace cars.

For Renault Austria, my international team of trainers and I took care of invitation management, on-site accreditation, and of course, the implementation of the driving activities. We were able to inspire participants with briefings in five different languages, as much freedom on the track as possible, and of course, the necessary safety.

I served as the interface between the client, customers, trainers, track security, and the venue. Before, during, and after the event.

May 2015 - Today (11 years and 3 months)
Klagenfurt, Austria
For many years, I have been accompanying Mazda Austria's dealer training sessions at various locations.

Whether with the electric car through the city center of Vienna, with the SUV off-road, with the comfortable sedan around Salzburg, or with the sporty models on the race track: Each time, I take care of the appropriate comparison vehicles, find varied routes, and create the fitting roadbook.

In addition, I naturally supervise the test drives with a cheerful and competent team of trainers and support the product managers with their presentations.
