I am very passionate about Technology companies and all processes of an e-commerce business. That includes processes around purchasing, performance marketing, customer experience, sales, logistics and customer care. With my experience in IT processes, I have a good understanding of the highly automated order processes. At HUGO BOSS, my focus is on running an efficient and effective Internal Audit team that not only forms a significant part of the company's corporate governance but also delivers value to the business units and the board. We achieve that by applying various technologies, like process mining or data analytics and by gaining a strong understanding of our processes and data. I spent 20 years working with innovative companies. At EY, a large share of my time was spent at large companies as well as technology start-ups in Silicon Valley (e.g., Google, Facebook, Cisco Systems, Intuit, Business Objects, Sun Microsystems, Seagate Technology) and Berlin (Groupon, Afinitas, Zanox, Axel Springer, Vattenfall, Coca-Cola, Bombardier). At Zalando, I lead the Internal Audit function in an innovative and tech-driven manner.

At HUGO BOSS, we firmly believe that the passion and dedication of our employees is the essence for the successful execution of our “CLAIM 5” growth strategy. A strong commitment to empowering people and teams is therefore firmly anchored in “CLAIM 5”. In this context, our HUGO BOSS values – entrepreneurial spirit, personal ownership, team mentality, simplicity & quality, and youthful spirit – play a key role. They form the guiding principle for day-to-day cooperation and are intended to foster a spirit of mutual trust. The aim is to create an environment that enables all employees to develop their individual talents and thus directly contribute to the success of “CLAIM 5”. On top of that, HUGO BOSS intends to continue positioning itself as one of the most attractive employers in the fashion industry. This, in turn, should enable us to attract the best talents in the sector.
