My work is characterized by a unique awareness of the latest demands of our digital and global economy and its various disruptions, particularly as they relate to the music industry.
Since 1992 I have worked in the areas of booking, management, and publishing with internationally recognized djs/producers from Detroit, Chicago, New York and Berlin such as Jeff Mills, Derrick May, Dr. Motte, Robert Hood, Roy Davis, Marshall Jefferson, Maertini Broes., Artist Unknown, Jesse Saunders and more.
From 2004 to 2007 my work focused on gaining access to foreign markets for German companies in the music industry, first as a project manager and later as the Executive Director of GermanSounds AG, the German music export office, where my responsibilities included the development of pilot programs for promoting Germany as a place for music, with special attention to Eastern Europe and Asia, as well as managing the EU foundation European Toursupport (ETS) and the European Talent Exchange Programm (ETEP).
Created under my guidance were the Tour guide Online, the USA VISA offer, the International Matchmaking Event (held at the German trade fair Popkomm in Berlin) and the establishment of cooperative arrangements with various festivals and media outlets.
As Managing Editor I was responsible for publishing the export handbook "Introduction to the German Music Market" (EMO/ Brussels, 2004) and authored "Study of the Most Important Foreign Markets for Berlin Music Businesses 2006", under contract by the Senate Administration for Economy, Technology, and Women.
At present I cooperate with main associations in music business, ministries of foreign affairs, economy and culture (on national and international levels), European and overseas music export offices and institutions for business development, independent and major companies, musicians and composers.
