Summary
As an interim manager with over 20 years of experience, I support corporations, agencies, startups and SMEs in managing complex large-scale projects, digital transformations and international go-to-market strategies. At the intersection of marketing, digitalization, CRM and sales, I ensure reliable delivery and consistently optimize budgets for ROI. My core strengths lie in project and account management, confident leadership of interdisciplinary teams and proactive stakeholder management within complex matrix organizations. I cover the entire process, from the strategic conception of high-reach digital, social media and cross-media campaigns through performance marketing to operational implementation and process optimization.
Through my many years of work in highly regulated markets and dynamic industries, I know specific compliance requirements, fast cycles and relevant KPIs inside out. My references include renowned market leaders from Pharma & Healthcare, Automotive, Retail, FMCG and Media, including brands and companies such as BMW, ALDI, GlaxoSmithKline, REWE, E.ON, Telekom, Sky, ProSiebenSat.1, PAYBACK, NISSAN, Beiersdorf, Avon, ARAG, DocCheck, Takeda, STADA and Ravensburger, as well as leading agencies such as Omnicom, Interone, Publicis, Digitas, McCann, Zenithmedia and Heye.
My freelance work has 100% priority for me. I also understand the client side as well as the agency and corporate worlds thanks to my strong background as a founder. I built my own e-commerce fashion label ZOHUS from scratch and managed it both operationally and strategically through its successful completion in December 2025 – an experience from which my clients now benefit directly through my strong entrepreneurial thinking and budget efficiency.
