Agnes was born in Berlin where she also lived until 2013.

Her background is hotel management and during that time she learned being a multitasking person and enjoyed working with different nationalities & humans.

After many years in the hotel operations day to day business, she moved on to a Sales position in charge of the DACH region corporates and the entertainment industry.

By planning her sales calls, she discovered the world of being a frequent traveler which helps her today planning business trips for her manager.

Her network to the hotel industry is still huge and that helps a lot by planning meetings and negotiating contracts.

Agnes moved to the South of Germany in 2013 working in Frankfurt in the financial industry. During that time, she was mainly in charge of planning investor meetings and roadshows as well as huge investor conferences in Frankfurt and Paris.

After her parental leave she started with Freudenberg in 2018. Today, she combines a lot of her skills learned in the past to the daily business of being an Executive Assistant.

She loves working with an international global based team and so it is no surprise that her manager is located in the US but Agnes is located close to Heidelberg.
