Student & Digital Strategist

Status Quo

Short timeline summary: After gaining experience in the field of online marketing and e-commerce in Germany and the U.S., I am currently doing my MBA in Hamburg. The time as a junior ambassador in Portland, Oregon taught me how important cultural intelligence is in our globalized world. This is one reason why my Bachelor and Master theses are both connecting the fields of digitization and global politics. Until the end of 2021, I've studied in Tel-Aviv at Coller School of Management. Now I'm back in Hamburg finishing my MBA at Hamburg Media School.

HEIMPLANET

Working Student Business Development

Hamburg Germany

Starting at HEIMPLANET, I had the chance to reform the digital marketing department from scratch. The startup started off with developing one-of-a-kind inflatable tents and is capturing the market of modern outdoor gear recently. Relaunching the online shop, initiating an affiliate program, managing a Kickstarter Campaign and setting up tracking funnels for more data-driven marketing were part of our early achievements. For more efficient team growth, acquiring web development skills, introducing new project management tools and migrating our mail-server to GSuite became personal projects outside my common activities.
