About

I am a native of Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany – the gate to the Black Forest. A striving tourism and biotechnology region with a popular university, this environment along with the love of my parents probably opened up my eyes and ears to discover my love for hospitality coupled with an interest in all things technological.

Since getting to know the internet in 1995, I’ve been doing freelance work for various companies (AOL Germany, Haufe Medien, and further media companies). My main focus there has mostly been on-site optimization work and link-building, e.g. for a rental car company ranking sought after brand keywords as the first local result in both Google and Yahoo. Wanderlust was calling me and had the chance to work different positions in hotels from operations to management in places like Munich, Frankfurt, Muscat, Dubai and lastly Bangkok where I’ve worked in Global Accounts for the currently largest capitalized OTA.

I’ve now decided it is time to consult independently to optimize the online distribution strategy and assist in setting up lasting social media strategies for hotels and destinations.
