I am an Executive Producer and Senior Creative Producer with over 20+ years of experience in international film production, production management, and leadership roles. I work at the intersection of creative development, strategic production, and people management – bringing stories, talent, and financing together to turn complex projects into strong, deliverable productions. Known as a reliable sparring partner and problem solver (yes, I do double-check), I support production companies, agencies, clients, and creative teams as an Executive Producer, Interim Head of Production, and creative matchmaker – especially in phases of growth, change, or high complexity.

Let’s connect if you’re looking for experienced leadership, creative clarity, and hands-on producing – in Germany or internationally.
