Since August 2023, I have been the Legal Operations Manager at Symrise AG. Previously, I worked at CMS and gained experience in consumer protection law firms. My focus is on the internal and external consulting of digitalization projects. I specialize in process and project management, particularly in the digitalization of legal departments. My academic background includes a degree in Business Law (LL.B.) and I am currently studying part-time in the LL.M. Legal Tech program. Since December 2023, I have also been serving as a board member of eLegal e.V.

They can uniquely contribute to and enrich the evolution of legal (tech)."
