I work with passion and enthusiasm on the transformation in the mobility sector in Asia and Germanyand follow with great interest the approaches and concepts that will help to lead to decarbonization and sustainability in the transport sector as part of the transformation in Asia and Germany.

Sustainable urban mobility has the potential to significantly improve cities by enhancing social equity, reducing environmental impact, and fostering better quality of life.

I bring several years of experience in strategy consulting for public sector clients, infrastructure projects, and transport companies, including collaborations with various ministries and cities. My academic background in Business Administration (B.Sc.) and ongoing studies in Human Rights & Diplomacy (M.Sc.) provide me with a strong interdisciplinary foundation to address the complexities of sustainable mobility.
