Certifications & Volunteering
Learning never stops. Neither does giving back.
From Harvard Business School to hands-on nonprofit marketing — continuous growth, on the job and beyond it.
Lifelong learning for the win
I believe that senior marketing leadership requires more than marketing expertise alone — it requires financial literacy, structured leadership skills, and a genuine command of the technology stack that powers modern demand generation. Every certification below was a deliberate investment, not a checkbox.
Completed from personal initiative to deepen financial literacy at CMO level — reading balance sheets, evaluating investments, and understanding how marketing decisions flow through to company financials. Not required for the role. Pursued because CMOs who understand the P&L make better budget decisions.
Currently completing my vocational trainer qualification under German law (BBiG, HwO, JArbSchG), enabling me to formally supervise apprentices. Pursuing this because developing junior talent is a responsibility I take seriously — not just a legal requirement for some roles.
Structured leadership development covering team dynamics, cross-cultural management and decision-making frameworks — directly applied to leading a 20-person international marketing organisation across four countries.
Structured training in lead scoring models, nurturing workflows and automation logic — the theoretical foundation that later became SECO’s first fully implemented demand generation system.
Connection, collaboration and support
Marketing skills don’t only belong in the corporate world. I actively look for ways to apply what I know — brand strategy, digital marketing, community building — to causes I genuinely care about, particularly around social inclusion and professional community in Hamburg.
Let’s connect.
Continuous learning and genuine community engagement — if that resonates with how you think about leadership, I’d love to talk.
