I know what it feels like to succeed, to burn out, and to start over in a foreign country. My story isn’t just about titles or companies, it’s about learning how to rebuild. Today, I use that experience to help expats in Germany find clarity, confidence, and the jobs they truly want.

Regaining the Drive,
and Why It Matters

Regaining the Drive,
and Why It Matters

Position of Strength

From VP in AdTech to leading global teams, my career felt steady and alive.

Money and Freedom

High pay and independence gave me stability, but I got no real fulfilment from it.

Losing the Drive

Despite success, I felt adrift, questioning whether my achievements were real or just luck.

People and the Job Hunt

Helping colleagues spot their own strengths revealed a passion for guiding others reach their full potential.

Apple

A dream opportunity landed in my inbox—an intense process that rebuilt my confidence.

The First Month

Once inside, I realised the spark was still missing, leaving me drained and uninspired, and still searching my true calling.

The Decision

I chose to walk away from Apple and commit to building something of my own, not knowing exactly what, nor how.

Unemployed in Germany

After leaving Apple, it was the first time in years I didn’t have a job lined up. Signing up as unemployed felt odd and I had no clue what would happen next, but at my first appointment I realised the Arbeitsamt is actually on my side. If I'd looked for the right coach, I wouldn't have spent five years figuring it out alone. That's exactly why I created this.

My Path Becomes Your Shortcut

Looking back, I can see how much time I lost trying to figure everything out alone. I thought my story was too unusual, that no one could help me connect the dots, and I kept trying in all directions. Today, I know that the right coach can change everything, and that’s exactly why I created Expat Career, to give expats in Germany clarity, confidence, and expertise I once needed.

Narrow specialisation: expats in Germany only
I'm not a 'universal career coach for everyone'. I work with your reality: foreign experience, German rules, stress, language, bureaucracy.

Hiring expertise + coaching
I understand how CVs are read and how hiring managers make decisions. We build your strategy to work for the market — not just to 'look right'.

Focus on international companies, where appropriate
If your goal is to work in English, we look for companies and environments where that's realistic and comfortable. We don't make the German language into an 'eternal excuse for not changing anything'.

Personalisation and honesty
I don't promise offers and I don't guarantee AVGS. I'm direct about what we control and what we don't. And we strengthen what's in our power: focus, materials, strategy, preparation.

AVGS support
You're not left alone with the bureaucracy. There's a clear support option that reduces fear and improves your chances — with no aggressive promises.

Accountability, not just advice
We don't just hand you a plan and wish you luck. I stay in the process with you — tracking progress, adjusting strategy, and making sure momentum doesn't stall.
