I've spent the past decade working across the food and beverage industry as a journalist, event organiser, brand builder, and market strategist. From writing about the world's best bars and co-authoring a cookbook to leading market development for the Kyrö Distillery in Germany, I've built a deep understanding of how great F&B brands connect with people.
Everything started with a full-blown obsession with food blogs in the late aughts. I turned that into my career when I joined Mixology, the leading bar and beverage publication in the German-speaking world. From there, I went on to write for publications including Vice Munchies, Effilee, Food52, and many others, telling stories about the people, products, and cultures that make food and drink so fascinating.
After years spent telling other people's stories, I moved into direct brand building as Brand Manager DACH for the Kyrö Distillery. That experience gave me firsthand insight into the realities of launching and growing an international F&B brand: partnerships, positioning, and long-term relationship building.
That mix — storytelling instincts from years as a journalist, and the operational reality of building a brand from the ground up — is what I bring to every client now. I know what makes a story worth telling, and I know what it actually takes to get a product onto the right shelf, into the right hands, talked about at the right table. If you want someone who knows the terrain inside and out, let's talk.
