Official Bio

"Give a Gril the right shoes and she can conquer the world"

As a child, I dreamed of becoming a professional dancer—I loved being on stage and taking people on a journey of performance, emotional entertainment and curiosity, until I realized that what truly excited me wasn’t just movement, but the momentum it creates when you are on stage and can take people on a journey in their minds. I’ve always been driven by creative ideas, bold decisions, and the power of bringing people together to build something bigger than themselves.

That’s why I became a startup operator and trainer—helping founders and teams turn vision into execution, navigate uncertainty, and create impact. Whether it’s business development, branding, or negotiations. I started my own podcast "Prototype yourself" as a side project to, gave workshops, keynotes and panel discussions in different international settings on the intersection of innovation, communication and psychology and enjoy my moments on stage most when I can lift others up even more. This is why I love moderating events so much. Now I organize and manage people brands like Tijen Onaran, help Founders to strengthen their voice and moderate and organize events from 10 to 500 people.

Speaking Events & Workshops

Think Fast. Talk Smart. Engage Deeply.  I’ve moderated panels, hosted interviews, and led keynotes in various settings, mainly focused on innovation, entrepreneurial spirit and the intersection of human psychology and economic growth. My expectations to myself: to interact with people, hear their stories and get them engaged. To facilitate the interaction of different perspectives, to keep the energy up, and allow for moments of silence. My goal for any engagement is to create an experience that has lasting impacts on business growth, on people mindsets and on facilitating opportunities that haven't been visible before. And to let people shine in the role they want to inherit.

What I Bring to the Stage:
- Fast Thinking, Sharp Questions –
I keep the energy high and the insights real.
- Deep Expertise in Startups & Business –
Not just a host, but an insider.
- Global Experience –
From VC summits to founder firesides, I’ve led discussions across 5 countries (english and german).
- Engagement-Driven –
Well prepared. Facts driven. Focused on real, unscripted insights.
