About

I lead sustainability at Siemens as a core business transformation lever across global industrial, infrastructure, grid and mobility systems. My focus is on decarbonization and circularity at scale, building resilience in complex value chains, accelerating adaptation and leveraging digital and AI-driven solutions to accelerate the transition. With a background in law, finance, M&A, capital markets and venture capital, I bring it all together and integrate sustainability into business strategy, customer offerings and portfolio decisions - moving beyond compliance to measurable business impact. I work closely with executive leadership and boards on navigating reulatory complexity, unlocking growth opportunities and positioning sustainability as a driver of long-term value creation. Particularly interested in: - Industrial and infrastructure decarbonization and energy transition - Circularity through product eco-design and ecosystem building - AI-enabled sustainability and productivity - Value-chain reslience and portfolio adaptation - Value creation through transformation Always open to exchanging perspectives and building ecosystems with leaders shaping the next level of sustainable societal infrastructure. I am a Supervisory Board Member of Siemens Mobility and a member of the Sustainability Council of Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW). My desire for actionable knowledge resulted in a doctorate in international public law from Goethe University Frankfurt, two Master of Law degrees from New York University School of Law and Université Paris Nanterre (EU law) and such diverse positions from finance lawyer in NY to Senior Vice President M&A, CFO and General Partner of venture capital firm N47 and Head of Investor Relations at Siemens. Recognized for four consecutive years (2022-2025) as one of the "TOP100 Most Influential Women in the German Economy" by Manager Magazin and in 2025 by TIME Magazine as leader on the "TIME100 Climate Leader" list.
