Position: Coordinator Urban Mobility
Location: Germany, Eschborn

I am a Senior Advisor Mobility and Transport at GIZ Headquarters advising transport and mobility projects in Latin America and Africa.

In 2009, I joined GIZ as a transport advisor, driven by a passion for project development and advising counterparts in developing countries. Throughout my career, I have expanded my technical expertise in transport and mobility by incorporating knowledge from related sectors such as energy, urban development, education, and job creation, enabling me to adopt a holistic approach in addressing complex challenges in international cooperation.

My career began in 2001 as a transport engineering consultant for railway infrastructure across Germany and worldwide. As part of GIZ’s transport and mobility team, I have worked in various positions in Germany, Namibia and Colombia.
