Germany
Message

At DHL Express, I manage DEIB, employer branding and engagement. I’m committed to making culture something people experience every day, and to building workplaces where people feel they belong.

At Boehringer Ingelheim, I worked as a Diversity & Inclusion Specialist in Culture & Sustainability. Across my career, I’ve led global culture, CSR, employee engagement, communications and marketing initiatives, and developed programs supporting employees across multiple geographies.

Earlier, at CBZ Holdings Limited, I worked in brand management and marketing for Insurance & Asset Management Operations, including website management, market intelligence and stakeholder engagement. My experience spans financial services, logistics, pharmaceuticals, NGOs and international development, and I’m committed to helping organizations strengthen culture and gender equality.
