I spent the last years working in DevOps, and cloud cost optimization was always the problem nobody had enough time for. So I decided to make it my full-time focus.

Now I work with companies to find where they’re overspending and do something about it. I'm not a big consultancy. There are no account managers or endless discovery phases.

My mission is to make cloud cost optimization something that actually gets done and not just talked about. That includes hands-on work as well as helping teams find and implement the right tooling, without pushing a one-size-fits-all solution.

Der Tourismus lebt von Begeisterung, Service und der Fähigkeit, Menschen zu verbinden – Werte, die meine Arbeit prägen.

Seit über 35 Jahren arbeite ich im Tourismus – einer Branche, in der echte Dienstleistung und Begeisterung zählen. Meine beruflichen Wurzeln liegen in der Organisation und Begleitung von Gruppenreisen quer durch Europa. Diese Anfangszeit hat mir ein tiefes Verständnis für die Wünsche von Reisenden und die Anforderungen an Reiseveranstalter vermittelt.

Heute bin ich bei der TMGS für den digitalen Vertrieb sächsischer Leistungsträger verantwortlich. Mein Fokus liegt auf der intelligenten Vernetzung touristischer Akteure, auf digitalen Lösungen für den Vertrieb und auf praxisnahen Strategien zur Vermarktung von sächsischen Angeboten.

Ich verstehe mich als Brückenbauerin zwischen Tourismuswirtschaft, Politik, Technologie und Gast – mit dem Ziel, den Tourismus in Sachsen zukunftsfähig, sichtbar und buchbar zu machen. Mein Leitsatz: „Sachsen soll am Counter buchbar sein!“

Mit meiner Erfahrung als Netzwerkerin, Strategin und leidenschaftliche Touristikerin möchte ich dazu beitragen, dass die Branche stärker zusammenarbeitet, Hemmschwellen überwindet und den digitalen Wandel aktiv gestaltet.
