Did you know that a single tree in the tropical rainforest can be home to thousands of animal species? Neither did I until I met Kai from WI. The team's passion for preserving the last intact ecosystems has motivated me ever since and makes me proud to be a part of it. Because in a world where for many people a dead tree seems to be worth more than a living tree, we need to act and raise awareness of the value of intact ecosystems.

As a PhD student at WI, I would like to pick up exactly where I left off and make nature conservation as tangible and transparent as possible for people and companies. Previously, I spent 10+ years researching crowdfunding, crowdsourcing and blockchain at the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft. I am delighted to be able to bring these topics to WI in order to make nature conservation a tangible experience for everyone.

In my private life, I am also interested in how we can use money as a lever for positive change. I have developed a preference for impact investing. Away from all the numbers, I enjoy playing soccer and walking my dog in the beautiful nature of northern Germany.
