About Me

I’m a Berlin-based communications professional and former journalist. In my current role, I lead PR for Merantix, the AI investment platform.

I previously worked as a reporter for a decade focusing mainly on the media industry. My work appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Vanity Fair, Fortune, Politico Magazine, and other publications.
