How did you end up in Berlin?
I grew up in a small village in Saarland , but always knew I wanted to live and work in a big city (I somehow thought it would be like living in a sitcom like Friends). During my internship at Zalando, I fell in love with Berlin and its startup bubble, so I moved here in the middle of my Master’s with two boxes and a suitcase – and never left.
Why did you become an Investment Manager?
After almost four years working in operational roles at startups, always closely alongside founders, I wanted to see the other side of the table – while staying close to founders. Today, my days are filled with screening pitch decks, coffee dates and events – and somehow I get to call that “work”.
