Germany, Italy, Portugal and Latin America — in five languages.
Germany
Munich/Baierbrunn is my main base. Via Go International Bavaria I support Bavarian SMEs with market entry and site build-up abroad — with eligible services.
Italy
Northern Italy, Trentino and South Tyrol are part of my working region — member of ITALCAM. Nearshoring to Northern Italy means short distances, EU law and qualified professionals at competitive cost. Working languages Italian and German.
Market Entry ItalyPortugal
Portugal is personally familiar to me — I grew up here. I know the language, culture and mentality from the inside. The country is growing as a nearshoring and tech hub within the EU and is attractive for service, IT and industrial roles. Grew up in Portugal near Cascais and Estoril and lived there for five years – Portugal is my second home.
Latin America
I know Latin America from 20+ years of DAX practice — plant build-up in Brazil and Mexico (BMW), HR for Latin America at Bayer (Costa Rica). With the new EU agreements Brazil, Mexico and Costa Rica are back in focus.
Build local, steer remote
The local team is built on site through my network and partners; interim steering and cultural integration run remotely — lean and cost-efficient. Legal, tax & compliance via specialised local partners.

My services for market entry, site search and partner search may be eligible under the Bavarian Go International funding programme. Bavarian SMEs can apply for a grant through their local chamber of commerce; the chamber of commerce and/or BIHK-Service GmbH alone decide on funding and amount — there is no legal entitlement.
