Locations Munich, Mexico City, Nuremberg
Through Siemens' premier development program in finance, I'm experiencing a wide swath of this exciting company and look forward to a more permanent role (TBD), later this year. My path so far:

I recommended winning business units and countries to the Managing Board based on world- and company-wide financial analysis and investigation, getting to know Siemens' full range of businesses.

I developed the business case for reorganizing our Mesoamerican sales force to reflect changing power markets. Energy Management handles the transport of electricity, from HVDC to smart grid.
Sales Financing Coordinator, Power & Gas Division
Oct 2015 – May 2016 | Erlangen
I liaised between the business, Siemens Financial Services, and project developers to identify and evaluate investment opportunities. As a founding member of the group, I evaluated and executed first investment opportunities while establishing the process for doing so.
