Background

About

I am a German attorney and former General Counsel of one of Europe’s fastest-growing digital companies. Before moving into business, I served as a judge. That path shaped how I look at change: not as a risk to be avoided, but as a precondition for development.

  • Former General Counsel (idealo) and in-house counsel (German Federal Film Board)
  • Attorney in private practice
  • Co-editor of Die Zukunft der Rechtsberatung (C.H. Beck, 2025)
  • Founder of KI-Labor Recht and AnwaltsCampus
  • Member of the Legal Committee of the DIHK and of the German Legal Tech Association
  • Lecturer for Beck Akademie and other institutions

Working languages are German and English. Sessions can be delivered on site anywhere in Europe or remotely.
