About Me
I'm a Professor at Quadriga University of Applied Sciences in Berlin, where I also serve as Vice President. My background spans multiple countries and cultures—I studied in Belgium, Romania, the UK, and the US as a Fulbright Scholar.
In a world of easy answers and hot takes, I help audiences sit with complexity and make better decisions because of it. I translate academic research into frameworks you can use Monday morning: no oversimplification and no sugarcoating.
I'm straightforward, culturally curious, and—I've been told—funny in a dry, sarcastic way. I use serious games and interactive methods to help people learn through play, exploring resilience and uncertainty in ways that stick long after the session ends.
