Artistic Director, Art Consultant and Curator with extensive strategic and operational leadership experience in the international art world. In-depth knowledge of contemporary art positions worldwide, a sensitive understanding of artistic processes and proven expertise at the intersection of contemporary art, cultural mediation and environmental engagement. Known for combining curatorial depth with entrepreneurial decision-making and a strong international network.
My work is deeply rooted in the international art world, built on trusted relationships with artists, private collectors, and foundations globally. A graduate of the Academy of Media Arts Cologne and a former gallery owner, I bring both curatorial depth and entrepreneurial experience to everything I do.
Since 2015, I have first served as a Collaboration Mananger and from 2019 onwards as Artistic Director of the art program at Parley for the Oceans, New York, leading initiatives that bridge contemporary art and environmental activism – from securing key artistic collaborations to overseeing cross-disciplinary projects. Since 2013, I have collaborated with Office Reiner Opoku in Berlin as Senior Consultant, advising on international exhibitions, curation, and cultural programming. This collaboration included co-curating the St. Moritz Art Masters festival. As Artistic Director of the St. Moritz Art Academy (2013–2021), I directed its international programming.
Through the podcast Art Unquoted and my writing practice on Art and the Planet, I engage with ideas in contemporary art beyond institutional contexts..
