Business Profile

You benefit from profound experience and C-level expertise in the areas of B2B2C Sales & Online Distribution, Media Operations, Marketing, Advertising Sales. In my previous roles as General Manager, I was able to acquire a 360° view and have distinctive knowledge in the areas of finance, Human Resources and administration, as well as leading challenging change processes beyond the core competence of sales & marketing.

Advertising, Sales & Sponsoring

The development of business and lead of sales units is the pillar of all my activities. At first, in marketing and advertising sales for Lifestyle Magazin WIENER & WIENERIN and Der Standard or marketing for the Viennese porcelain manufactory Augarten. 

Then came 23 years in various areas of the leading multi media corporation, the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation ORF. Among other, I operated advertising sales, product placement & sponsoring, international content sales, music publishing, merchandising & licensing, digital media operations and finance.

Offering a product is good, selling it is better.

International Distribution & Content Licensing

For ORF, I built up the international Content Sales & Licensing Business together with international teams and the Austrian film industry.

Increasing revenue through worldwide sales of the popular ORF Universum nature documentaries, New Year's Concert, films & series were among the tasks - in addition to digitizing processes, leading internal teams and external partners, organizing trade fairs and events.

I offer comprehensive know-how in global distribution, copyright and licensing of video and audio content.

Managing Director /CEO 

In 2010, I was appointed Managing Director & CFO of ORF's commercial subsidiary, ORF Enterprise GmbH. Alongside the CEO, I was responsible for Finance, HR & Administration as well as International Content Distribution, Merchandising and ORF Music Publishing. 

In addition, I was Co-CEO  Muti Media  of ORF Online & Teletext GmbH, responsible for the management of Austria's largest streaming platform, ORF TVthek, as well as services for the hearing impaired (=subtitling) in the course of accessibility (CSR).

Operating Streaming Platforms is a core competence.

Interim Management
Merger & Acquisitions

From A-Z: As managing director of ORF Mediaservice Beteiligungs GmbH, I was involved in some share acquisitions and (partial) divestment deals.

Due diligence reviews with external consulting firms, the in- and outsourcing of personnel and interim management were part of these tasks (area of change management).

Experience through functions in advisory boards, management boards and commercial management round off this experience.

E Commerce 
Retail 

In 2021, I was offered to operate as Managing Director Marketing, Sales and R&D of GW Cosmetics GmbH, a pioneer and owner-managed manufacturer of Hair & Care cosmetics. The business unit included product and trade marketing for three international cosmetic brands, private label, product development and global export.  Sales responsibilities included export of cosmetics through distributors to 70 countries, D2C retail sales (drugstores, perfumeries, pharmacies), and e-commerce with three proprietary online stores. Master Lin, Beauty Lash and RefectoCil.

Since then, I have been passionate about retail and consulting projects in the field of e-commerce and loyalty programs. 

Supervisory Board
ESG /CSR

Respponsible stakeholder management is key to corporate success, I have completed a certification as Supervisory Expert at the Incite Academy of the Chamber of Commerce.

Because ESG/CSR is part of any corporate responsibility, I have completed a training as Sustainability Officer at the TÜV Austria Academy in 2023 to be able to set up ESG projects for small or medium sized companies.

I am happy to support you with your ESG/CSR projects.
 

International Industry Network 

Educated in Austria, France and Germany, I speak fluent French and English, as well as some Spanish and Italian, in addition to my native German.

As an active board member of the leading organization in the global MarCom industry, the International Advertising Association, I coordinate the European associations as Area Director Europe.
