How would you describe your work?
I see myself as a creative problem solver who tries to improve and ultimately present issues and processes through a deep understanding of human needs. In order to be able to solve problems sustainably, I try to evaluate them in the best possible way by acquiring knowledge.
I like to call it the principle of “catching up” – a word that came about during my career. It stands for the continuous development of knowledge. The smarter you are, the more effectively and sustainably you can develop and implement solutions.
Is there a book or movie whose story has particularly inspired you? If so, why?
One movie comes to mind – Don’t Look Up with Leonardo DiCaprio. I don’t want to spoil anything, but the black humorous portrayal of humanity in topics such as climate policy made me think. The movie shows so aptly how we often step on our own toes and that individual success carries too much weight in our society.
What should not be missing in your fridge?
Without a doubt: yogurt. If I learned anything in South America, it was to appreciate the quality of our milk. What would my mental breaks be without yogurt?
What do you want to be known for?
I think that’s my characteristic for puns. Because I try not to always put things on the gold scale and to face everyday life with humor.
