Publicly appointed and sworn experts

Publicly appointed and sworn expert by the Bonn / Rhein-Sieg Chamber of Industry and Commerce for insolvency investigations and profitability analyses of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Member of the specialised committees of the Trier and Stuttgart Region Chambers of Industry and Commerce.

My professional career began with a banking apprenticeship. I then studied economics at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms University in Bonn. After completing my intermediate diploma, I continued my studies in business administration at Saarland University in Saarbrücken and successfully graduated with a degree in business administration.

I gained my first practical experience in a nationwide expert office specialising in the preparation of business appraisals in the fields of insolvency investigations and company valuations.

During my professional career, I also successfully completed a two-year training programme at the Chamber of Industry and Commerce in Heilbronn to become an IHK-certified accountant.

After a further seven years of freelance work as a business valuer, I was publicly appointed and sworn in by the Bonn / Rhein-Sieg Chamber of Industry and Commerce in 2007 for the specialist area of "insolvency investigations".

In 2012, I was publicly appointed and sworn in for the field of "profitability analyses of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)".

I am a founding member of the specialist committees

"Insolvency analyses" at the IHK Trier and
"Profitability analyses of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)" at the IHK Region Stuttgart

and, together with my colleagues on the expert committee, I check whether the applicants have the necessary expertise in the above-mentioned areas.

I have been an honorary member of the expert committee of the Stuttgart Region Chamber of Industry and Commerce since 2017.

To date, I have prepared more than 1000 expert reports with the WJU team, many of which I have personally represented in court.
