Profile
- I have been working in and with the hotel industry since 2000
- Triple mother, proud founder
- Adrenaline junkie
- Travel is the greatest luxury for me
- Fun fact: when I was 6 years old, I happened to be at a hotel opening and since then I have never wanted to do anything else
What do your friends say about you?
Crazy, chaotic, lovable and a good hostess.
Favorite travel destination/hotel?
Formentera, Gräflicher Park in Bad Driburg, Roomers Baden-Baden.
What should not be missing in a hotel room for you?
A cozy bathrobe.
What would you be if you weren't a hotel specialist?
I don’t understand the question. 😉
What do your customers say about you?
My customers appreciate that I only offer trade fair hotels within the specified price range. A very good customer once said that I am the only agency employee he personally takes time for at trade fairs and said something about „getting on my nerves persistently“, but I didn’t understand the context 😉 However, I am at least as tenacious in contract negotiations for our customers.
Where can we find you in your free time?
In fact, I often spend time in a hotel, on the water in summer, skiing in winter, as often as possible with my three children, my husband and my friends, also in the kitchen or with my dog in the forest or on the beautiful Ruhr.
Who would you like to be for a day?
The president who can make sure that wars in this world stop.
What do you particularly like about your colleague Franzi?
Franzi joined us one year after we founded the company. She is very lovely, has super loyal customers and always manages to get great project requests, even though she doesn’t like acquisition.
What do you like most about your job?
I love getting to know new hotels and people, solving challenges (Thursdays: we arrive in Madrid on Monday and don’t have a hotel yet) and the valuable exchange with our hotel partners. Our job also has a certain glamour factor due to the many events we can attend, which I really appreciate as a pleasant counterpoint to my family life.
