Impact investing to catalyze social innovation

I am a PhD Fellow within the seizmic Doctoral Network (MSCA), conducting research at the intersection of impact investing and social entrepreneurship. With my project I examine how impact investing can serve as a catalyst for both social entrepreneurship scaling and broader systemic transformation.

I explore impact investing strategies to drive system change

I am a PhD Fellow conducting research on impact investing and social entrepreneurship within the seizmic Doctoral Network (MSCA). My work focuses on impact investing strategies and their outcomes for scaling social innovation and driving systemic change. I hold a Master of Public Policy from the Hertie School.

Before starting my PhD, I gained experience across both the public and private sectors, working at the German Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, the European Commission, and later as a management consultant for the Boston Consulting Group.

My interest lies at the intersection of policy, business, and social impact. Through my research, I aim to shape capital flows and impact investment strategies that enable scalable, sustainable solutions to complex societal challenges.
