Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I support agencies, companies, and associations in the implementation of conferences, general meetings, and corporate events with a focus on clear processes, precise coordination, and a smooth event flow.

With over ten years of experience in the event sector, as well as a background in TV production and production management, I bring a deep understanding of live situations, interfaces, and complex project structures.

I regularly work within the scope of the Munich Security Conference and at international general meetings in Switzerland, where I am responsible for coordination, communication, and operational execution.

My focus is on structuring and managing projects in such a way that they remain predictable for all stakeholders while allowing for flexible responses to changes.

In short: I ensure that events run smoothly, even when things get complex.
