Description

German lawyer specializing in technology law, data protection, and regulatory compliance. I have over ten years of experience advising international companies on their data governance, GDPR compliance, and digital risk management challenges.

I have held legal and data protection leadership positions within international groups such as eBay, Scout24, and Adevinta. Between 2021 and 2025, I served as DPO for several entities within the Adevinta group, including LeBonCoin in France, mobile.de, and Kleinanzeigen in Germany. In this capacity, I led personal data protection governance and oversaw GDPR compliance across several European markets.
