I am a cross-cultural marketing professional who thrives at the intersection of marketing, design, and AI-powered optimization. Over the past decade, I’ve built and scaled marketing programs across Germany and Europe for tech and e-commerce brands, bridging German and Chinese teams, with a focus on agile processes, data-driven decisions, and cross-functional collaboration. In my recent roles I introduced AI tools (Custom GPT, Midjourney, Krisp) to boost efficiency, led branding across platforms (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube), and managed influencer relations. I enjoy training teams and enabling faster go-to-market through hands-on coaching and pragmatic experimentation.
