Über Katja
Performance doesn't come from better decks. It comes from someone who actually gets things done.
I know large organizations from the inside. At Mercedes-Benz, Deutsche Bahn, DHL, and REWE I didn't consult from the outside. I built, led, and delivered from within. I know where projects get stuck in complex organizations and what it takes to get them moving.
As a freelancer I bring speed, operational strength, and a clear can-do attitude. I get up to speed fast, take ownership, and drive projects through to completion. No lengthy onboarding. No strategies that sit in a drawer.
My focus is in three areas. MarTech strategy and implementation, covering CDP, CRM, marketing automation, and AI-driven personalization. Data-driven marketing, from segmentation and attribution to marketing mix modeling. And marketing performance, when teams, processes, or technology need to be geared toward results, including where AI and Agentic AI can already make a real operational difference today.
I speak the language of Marketing, IT, and Management at the same time. And I deliver.
