Launched The Red Bulletin, a 100 page lifestyle and sport fusion magazine, as a supplement to quality newspapers all over the world including The New York Times, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and The Sunday Telegraph. Initially I began as Editor in Chief before becoming Head of Expansion.

Managing a multinational team we played a decisive role in successfully securing the Austro Swiss Euro 2008 bid. During my time working with UEFA, I developed strong connections to the UEFA executive committee and key decision makers in football. The bid won on technical merit.

My role at Ferrari included the careful coordination of the extensive press and publicity calendar for world champion Michael Schumacher. In addition, I also managed the press affairs of Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo and Executive Director of Scuderia Ferrari, Jean Todt.

I was correspondent for Italian sports newspaper 'La Gazzetta dello Sport' and worked in the international football department. I also undertook the role of staff reporter for the Viennese 'Kurier' again in the football department. My focus was on global football tournaments (Euro in UK 1996, World Cup in France 1998, Africa Cup in Burkina Faso 1998).

I was involved in a trainee-program at Henkel / Ecolab in Milan, Italy specifically focussing on Finance/Controlling which made up part of the international training program for "Future Controllers". This particular experience has proved useful further in my career when I became responsible for departmental budgets.
