Leadership in law and business in the creative industries

“How to lead and negotiate successfully in the creative industries?”
“What are the challenges of complex global license agreement negotiations on digital topics?”
“How can a fairer and more transparent distribution of income from creative services be achieved in the long term?”
“What makes diverse, innovative teams that work together in a hybrid way successful in the long term?”

As a LAWYER, SPEAKER and BUSINESS COACH, I combine business with leadership and shape change in the creative industries.
I lead cross-functional teams to peak performance in a diverse and innovative working environment. For this, I have been recognized several times by Billboard Magazine as an “International Power Player”, “Top Music Lawyer” and one of the “Women in Music”.
