With my Berlin based innovation consultancy boutique firm CorpPearls, I am assisting innovative companies or projects with finding partners and investors. One of my key areas of activity is sustainability and impact. For the matchmaking I am organising startup innovation events in which startup companies can pitch and talk to investors and potential partners. I am organising this kind of events since years in Germany and Luxembourg and in the recent years also with topics such as "Sustainable Logistics", "Green Departures", "Enabling Positive Future" with a clear focus on sustainable and impact which is not only topic for the events but also for the mind set and overall character of the events. I am supporting SME´s and stakeholders in the BE with finding partners and investors or with presenting them at relevant events. I am also assisting innovation hubs with organising and moderating workshops for startups.

I am no longer practicing as a lawyer, but it is very helpful to have this background when I assist companies when they grow their business or prepare for important meetings with stakeholders.
