I help international companies enter, grow and operate successfully in the European market by solving legal, GDPR, AI Act and compliance challenges before they become business problems.
I am a **German-qualified lawyer (First and Second German State Examination in Law)**, a **certified Data Protection Officer (TÜV)** and **certified Compliance Officer (TÜV)** with extensive experience advising international businesses on European regulatory requirements.
I currently serve as **External Data Protection Officer and Compliance Officer for a German technology company**, while also advising international clients across SaaS, AI, HealthTech, education, e-commerce and digital services.
Unlike many consultants who focus purely on legal theory, I work directly with founders, executives and operational teams to build compliance programs that are practical, commercially viable and support business growth.
Over the course of my career I have advised companies and entrepreneurs from **more than 40 countries** across Europe, North America, Asia, Australia and the Middle East, helping them establish legally compliant operations in Germany and throughout the European Union.
## What makes me different
Many businesses don't simply need a GDPR consultant.
They need one trusted advisor who understands how legal, privacy, compliance and commercial realities fit together.
My clients work with me because I combine:
• German legal education
• Practical experience as a former attorney
• Active work as External DPO and Compliance Officer
• International business experience
• Business-oriented advice instead of purely academic legal analysis
• Clear communication in English and German
I don't just draft documents.
I help companies implement workable compliance structures that support sales, enterprise procurement, fundraising and long-term growth.
