About Michaela

I specialize in brand strategy and premium positioning, leading growth-focused go-to-market initiatives and integrated marketing ecosystems across Europe and emerging markets.
My work combines experiential brand building, digital performance, and customer journey design, enabling businesses to scale with clarity and consistency.
Having operated in multi-market and cross-cultural environments, I bring strong stakeholder leadership and adaptability to complex, fast-moving organisations.
I am particularly effective in ambiguous, high-growth contexts — building structures, teams, and momentum where none previously existed.
Fluent in English, German, and French, with basic knowledge of Italian and Russian.
I am currently exploring senior leadership opportunities across luxury, lifestyle, wellness, and growth-driven businesses.
