About Me
After beginning my career in the banking industry and earning a master’s degree in audiovisual journalism, I joined the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation (ORF) — Austria’s national public broadcaster — in 1994 as a reporter. Over the years, I became the anchor of the prime-time business magazine ECO and the daily stock market news ZIB Börse, covering global markets and major economic events for nearly two decades.
In 2018, I crossed the Atlantic to begin a new chapter, moving from Vienna to New York City to work as a freelance correspondent. Since then, I’ve reported for ORF TV, Puls TV, Deutschlandfunk, Kurier (one of Austria’s leading daily newspapers), and Falstaff Magazin (Food, Wine & Travel). I also serve as Managing Editor for Handelsblatt in New York — the leading German business and finance newspaper — where I oversee coverage of U.S. business, innovation, and economic trends.
Today, I divide my time between New York City and the Hamptons—a place of extraordinary light and quiet inspiration, and the setting for my upcoming book Mystic Hamptons.
How I Learned to Cope with Stress
Working in the media often means working under constant time pressure. As a certified yoga and Qi Gong teacher, I learned effective ways to manage stress — but I wanted to understand more deeply what really helps us recover and stay resilient.
I began collaborating with brain researchers and music therapists to explore how body, breath, and rhythm influence our ability to relax and recharge. The result is a practical toolkit for everyday life that has helped not only me, but also hundreds of participants in my workshops — and even supported me on my way to the semi-finals of Dancing Stars in Austria.
This approach forms the basis of my latest book Resilient & Fit, a guide to staying balanced and strong in challenging times. I also share individual exercises regularly on ORF Sport Plus TV.
Video Production
These days, being visible online and showing who we are—and what we offer—on different platforms is more important than ever. I can help you stay calm and confident, whether it’s in interviews, video calls, or creating social media content. And if you want to take it a step further, I work with some of the best commercial and documentary filmmakers and editors in NYC to produce really high-end videos. Let’s talk about how we can make it work for you!
