About me
Born in Göttingen in 1989, at home in Luxembourg
I was born and grew up in Göttingen, Germany. After school I completed commercial training and then moved into procurement. Work took me to Frankfurt am Main and from there to Luxembourg, where I live today.
In 15 years of procurement I have worked in very different settings: aerospace, banking, research, consulting and as an external expert for European institutions. I also bring experience in buying IT, software and IT services. Working with ERP systems and digital procurement tools is part of my everyday work.
I became self-employed in 2016 and founded SYBX Group Sàrl in 2019. Alongside procurement, two things have stayed with me for a long time: teaching and writing.
“Share knowledge rather than keep it to yourself.”
