Profile Summary

LET ME START WITH THE BIG PICTURE In the past 2 decades I have lived and worked in various different European cities. During all this time I was always playing football and often it took me a while to find and claim my position on the pitch. Actually, I realise now that over the years I have played in almost every part of the football teams. During tournaments I was often playing in the goal, mainly because no one else would. This permitted me to direct my teammates during the game. I always loved to play in the offensive midfield or in the attack. However, claiming the attacker’s position wasn´t easy, especially not when I started playing in a new team. I learned that it is worth starting slow and taking a position in defence or as a defensive midfielder. It requires patience and persistence to be allowed to play in a more offensive position. The same rules apply to working in different countries and in different jobs. You always need to find your place first and later – when you are more self-aware - you can try to convince your collaborators to find the position where you can best support the team with your expertise and skills. My life experience is that in order to solve complex issues it is often required to be patient, communicate and – most importantly – to listen. Sometimes this is not enough, especially if you are faced with a serious problem that evolves during a project. Often, it has helped me to take a step back and develop a fresh perspective. This can result in finding more strategic, meta-solutions, which are often a result of thinking out of the box. CONSULTING AND TEAMWORK The main reason why I love consulting is that – based on my skills and expertise - I can make recommendations that may lead to new ideas and create impact in a company. This is more likely in well-communicating, multi-disciplinary teams. Ideally, my work does not only lead to solving problems more effectively but also it helps me for my personal development. My own personal development is my motivation. It is often the result of a project that is not going straight as planned. During a project there are sometimes moments where conflicts between the teammates arise and I feel that the projects that had the biggest impact on my personal development were the ones that involved listening, staying open-minded and cooperative in order to resolve these conflicts. What is always required in such situations is a positive mindset, professionalism, discipline, treating your co-workers with respect, honest communication and - above all - integrity towards your colleagues. MY CLIENTS My clients are international and European companies, as well as /start-up) investors. My offer is directed to (start-up) companies in the medical, para-pharmaceutical and pharmaceutical industry. I have a special emphasis on early drug development and food supplements. I am working as a freelancer on an hourly basis and I am relatively flexible when it comes to working hours. My current availability is up to 20 hours per week, but can be extended in order to meet set deadlines. Depending on the required tasks, I am working as: • Life science consultant • Scientific Consultant • Medical consultant • Pharmaceutical Consultant Companies hire me for consulting in order to take better decisions on their (future) product development and for advice on early drug development. Investors and venture capitalists hire me to take better decisions on their start-up investments. MY SKILLS I am combining profound insight into life sciences and medical sciences. My language skills in 4 European languages, namely German, English, Spanish, and French - languages of all the European countries where I have actually lived - enable me to also work on international projects and in intercultural teams. My career has led to a personal development that favours my analytical reasoning, problem solving and troubleshooting, all things I have a natural talent for. Furthermore, in the past decade I have gained strong interpersonal communication (written and oral) and project management skills. My analytical and project management skills, enable me to be a consultant in many different fields, like: • Clinical Consulting • Clinical Studies • Animal Studies • Feasibility Studies • Data Analysis • Early drug development • Food supplements • Laboratory Analytics • Research & Development • Risk Analysis & Assessment MY CAREER I am a biochemist and molecular biologist with a PhD in natural sciences from Hamburg University, Germany. In total, I have got more than 10 years of practical experience in cancer research. After spending half of my career in academia, at last working as a Research Associate at the university of Newcastle, I decided to leave university. I was the working as a lab manager of the molecular genetics’ unit of a laboratory for molecular haematology and oncology in Cologne, Germany when I realised that I needed a change in my professional career. In 2015, I started studying natural medicine at the Paracelsus school in Germany and was awarded the legal occupational title "Heilpraktiker“ in 2017. The German term Heilpraktiker translates to German medical practitioner in English. Later in the year, I also became a certified naturopath (naturópata) in Spain. Since then, I am living in Spain and have my own naturopathic practice in Andalucía.
