About

Born on June 8, 1977 in Kempten, married, one child.
Languages: German (native) and English (fluent).

After finishing high school and doing my military service, I started training as a media designer for digital and print media at the Allgäuer Zeitung. Once I completed that, I went on to study business administration in Kempten.

From 1999 to 2008, I managed the online portal all-in.de and several other side portals. At this time, we also began to offer our Internet-related services to external customers. In 2008, our Electronic Media Department became its own company, rta.design GmbH (now OYA Media). As COO, I had the opportunity to grow it into a full-fledged web and advertising agency. Alongside client projects, we also handled the digital activities for the Allgäuer Zeitung media group and its subsidiaries.

Starting in 2014, I took on the role of eCommerce project manager, helping to develop and implement SAP with Hybris as the digital platform for the Allgäuer Zeitung media group. After the launch, I coordinated the ongoing development of the platform and processes within the Mediengruppe Pressedruck.

From 2018 to 2020, I worked in Augsburg at Newsfactory as a business developer and product owner.

Since 2020, I’ve been with GranataPet/Fox4Pets as the Head of eCommerce/Digital/Operations. My role involves digitalizing processes, optimizing supply chain workflows, and developing our own online shop and platforms.
