Austria Guide

Tours in German, English and French

Growing up in the Swabian south of Germany, I was quickly drawn out into the world. I was fascinated by other cultures while traveling, and I will never forget a morning bike ride in Delhi, India, or a visit to a school in South Africa. My studies in European Economics took me to Bamberg in Franconia and to Clermont-Ferrand in France. I then spent 13 years applying my skills in the management of an international DAX company in areas such as finance, business development, project management and sales. This career finally brought me to Vienna and I quickly realized that I had found my home in this wonderful city.

Since 2021, I have been passing on my expertise as a lecturer for prospective tourist guides and as an author. Above all, however, I work as an independent management consultant and certified Austria Guide and help companies to communicate successfully with customers, employees and investors. I organize tours on which business topics such as dealing with change, diversity, leadership in times of crisis or innovation and digitalization can be experienced in Vienna.

As a person who finds relaxation in nature in particular, sustainability has long been a topic close to my heart. Fortunately, the topic is also increasingly becoming a priority for companies. I am convinced that only companies that think about sustainability consistently and holistically in their processes will be successful in the long term. That’s why I’m all the more pleased to be working with the Austria Guides for Future team to make promising solutions for climate change and climate justice visible on tours through Vienna.
