Data-driven analysis of human rights risks has been a focus of my work over the past twenty years. In particular, dealing with and integrating with sourcing and purchasing teams was very insightful, especially in the agricultural, chemical, and textile sectors. Of course, IT is a cross-cutting issue, and the design and integration of interfaces is often challenging. In my role, I conduct discussions, identify gaps and potential in data management, help break down silos, and define common standards.

Back in the early 2000s, I developed dashboards on mortality rates in hospitals so that those responsible could avoid unnecessary suffering. During the first wave of the AI ​​boom around 2010, I used machine learning to geographically resolve text data, quantify it, and make it statistically analyzable in collaborative research centers of the German Research Foundation. Similar methods were then applied in business practice to develop a sustainable digital shopping inventory in the Berlin startup scene.

At the same time, Madeleine introduced me to the topic of human rights due diligence and I took over the technical implementation of the Human Rights Capacity Diagnostic of the German Global Compact Network (DGCN) and twentyfifty. I then headed the technology department at twentyfifty for four years and was able to carry out a number of exciting projects with international clients in this area.

In addition to my work as a partner at Sustainable Links, I work at the German Emissions Trading Authority and am building a modern, fully digital administration.

I studied computer science and political science in Berlin and Barcelona.
