Frankfurt is for me …
… the best of two worlds.
What do you love most about your job?
Working with great people – and top results.
Where do you get your ideas from?
I ask myself regularly. But I have got used to the fact that the answer is missing.
My lunch break …
… I just spent it again with Brenmans at Kettenhofweg.
What trends do you think we will see this year?
The trend towards structured breaks. If you regularly sit in endless meetings, you know what I mean.
What else can we still learn?
To live and to understand others.
You should definitely do that in Frankfurt …
Whatever you feel like – for example, visit the skate park at the EZB.
