I was born and raised in Hamburg, Germany. Early on, I realized I had a strong interest in money, though I was better at spending it than earning it. So, after graduating high school, I worked as a stagehand to finance my Slavic studies – which didn’t work very well.

I soon discovered that pulling cables and pushing boxes wasn't for me, so I joined COMPUTER BILD, one of Germany's largest tech magazines, as a trainee and completed the program in just 1.5 years. Afterward, I explored various agencies (C4 Rocks, Content Fleet) only to realize that I preferred working in an editorial setting. I returned to COMPUTER BILD, covering topics related to finance, hardware, and crypto for more than 3 years.

As life sometimes goes, I received a message on LinkedIn. ECDB reached out, asking if I would like to lead their editorial team. Data about eCommerce? Revenues, GMVs, growth rates - finally, I was back to my childhood passion, closer than ever. At ECDB, I manage the entire website content and the editorial team. Additionally, as Head of SEO, I ensure the website's visibility.
