Work,
More than 25 years in print, online & audio – from the arts pages of the Hamburger Abendblatt and the luxury magazine of the Financial Times Deutschland to heading the “Leben” section at Capital. I write, edit and talk about watches, fashion, beauty, design and travel – and the business & people that drive them.
Along the way I helped launch magazines, founded a blogzine, a newsletter and two podcasts, and started the Capital Watch Award.
