I started Expat Careers in 2023 after walking this road myself. I came to Germany as an expat, built a career leading international teams at companies like Apple, and still know exactly how it feels to stand in front of the German job market wondering where to even begin. That experience became this company. My goal is simple: help highly qualified professionals unlock their full potential on the German job market, and by 2026 make Expat Careers a leading name in career coaching and professional integration for expats in Germany.
I work with jobseekers, above all expats who are part of the German social security system. Smart, experienced people who keep hitting the same three walls:
Language barriers. Limited German narrows the field, so I help you find the English-speaking roles where it does not.
Cultural adaptation. German work culture has its own rules. I help you read them and work with them.
Networks. Careers here run on connections. I help you build yours from scratch.
My job is to help you clear these hurdles and put your strengths where the market actually sees them.
Individuality. No templates, your situation sets the plan.
Empowerment. You leave able to run your own career, not dependent on a coach.
Integrity. Honest and transparent, always, including about what is not realistic.
Excellence. The highest quality of work I can deliver, every session.
Innovation. My methods change as the job market changes, continuously.
The goal behind everything is your successful integration into the job market. We get there with a clear search strategy, built in five steps: identify your long-term career direction, set concrete individual goals, build a tailored search strategy, sharpen your CV and cover letter, and prepare intensively for interviews.
This mission statement is reviewed and developed further every year by the management as part of the annual management review. Expat Careers is an AZAV-certified provider (Fachbereich 1, activation and professional integration).
