Born in Germany, but spending my formative language acquisition years (8) in Australia, I may well claim double native-speaker proficiency (English & German). Having studied and worked in the fields of Electronics and Fine Arts/English Language & Literature ( MA degree equivalent Universitaet Osnabrueck), my scope of expertise is both extensive and experienced.

Acting as managing director in a distribution company and responsible for sales and marketing for over 20 years, my exposure to business- and product-related language environments ranges from distribution negotiations and formal contractual settlements to supervision/management of product localization, production, sales and marketing. With the company operating in the fields of software, hardware and peripherals, most of the business involved either deals with Anglo-American companies or with Far East or European operations communicating in English.

My business ethics and aspirations as freelance service provider demand maximum customer satisfaction, given the appropriate time and accordant funding.
