Hi, I’m Sophie!

I’m the missing link between European, African and Gulf partners. My passion is to bring international projects to life while aligning various stakeholders across cultures, continents and time zones, ideally speaking five different languages in one day and continuously feeding my curiosity by immersing myself in new topics.

I am an implementation machine that thrives on building things from scratch: from driving growth at Berlin startups to running my own media production business in East Africa, curating national pavilions at Expo 2020 Dubai and setting up a reception center for unaccompanied minor refugees.

Currently based in Berlin, I have implemented projects in Tanzania, Kenya, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates, working across international cooperation, migration, child protection, storytelling, multimedia production, qualitative research, education as well as renewable energy and ICT. I thrive on projects that blend creativity, impact, and innovation.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in African Studies with focus on the Swahili language (Humboldt-University of Berlin), a Higher Certificate in Digital Film Production (SAE Institute, Cape Town) and a Master’s degree in Global Diplomacy with focus on the Middle East and North Africa (SOAS, London).

I’m a big language enthusiast with business fluency in German, English, French and Swahili as well as basic conversational skills in Levantine Arabic and Turkish.
