Hi there,
I am still working as Head of Unit and Project Manager for Enterprise Europe Network of the EU Commission.
Until January 2021 I will be engaged in some special projects focusing on impact investing and sustainable finance. I am also doing an online certificate course with Frankfurt School as "Certified Expert in Sustainable Finance".
As of February 2021 I will either work with a social institution and/or will be co-founder of an impact driven business idea with some other dedicated women who are likewise disappointed by currently available financing options for female (tech) entrepreneurs and other underestimated groups (:-)) in our society in particular.
I would be happy to connect with others and perhaps explore co-working options throughout the world.
Though I will be moving from Düsseldorf to South-East Bavaria I have the necessary hardware to work remotely with as little unecological travel as possible :-).
