After leaving the European Institute of Public Administration (EIPA), I consciously decided to take a pause from professional commitments to focus on personal growth and family. During this time, I also successfully naturalised as a Luxembourgish citizen, an achievement that involved dedicated study and basic competency in Luxembourgish. This period was used constructively towards:- Strategic Planning: I laid the foundational groundwork for Kramer Consulting, developing a business model that integrates my legal expertise with progressive educational techniques. This preparation ensures that I can offer high-value services tailored to the needs of modern organisations.- Community Engagement: I remained active within my professional network and participated in mentorship programmes, both as a mentee and a mentor. This engagement has kept me connected to the latest industry trends and broadened my perspective, enriching my professional outlook.- Cultural and Language Integration: The successful acquisition of Luxembourgish citizenship marked a significant personal milestone, boosing my sense of belonging and integration into the local community and enhancing my cultural competence—a valuable asset in my consulting practice.This thoughtful use of time has not only enriched my personal life but also strategically positioned me to launch Kramer Consulting with a fresh perspective and renewed energy, ready to deliver exceptional value to clients and partners.

In my dual role at EIPA, I led the strategic development, management and delivery of extensive training programmes, directly engaging with EU institutions and enhancing the practical application of EU law. My initiatives included delivering technical assistance projects in the Western Balkans and Turkey, where I applied my expertise e.g. in company law and EU competition law to support transitional reforms and alignment with EU standards. These projects not only improved local legal frameworks but also strengthened governance at multiple levels. My leadership ensured the delivery of tailored legal training that addressed the specific needs of EU institutions, agencies and bodies, national administrations, and judiciaries, focusing on the critical interplay between European and national laws.Key Skills & Expertise:- Strategic Project Management & Legal Analysis: Expertise in developing and curating high-impact seminars and training that align with strategic goals. - Innovative Instructional Design: Pioneered modern training approaches to maximize learner engagement and knowledge retention, using blended and online learning environments.- Digital Transition Leadership: Guided the digital transformation of educational programs, ensuring continuity and excellence in training delivery during critical periods.- Advanced Stakeholder Engagement & Collaboration: Skilled in building strategic partnerships and managing high-level stakeholder relationships across diverse sectors and international borders.- Effective Communication & Impactful Presentation: Known for delivering compelling presentations and training sessions that engage and educate, earning consistently high feedback from participants.- Data-Driven Evaluation & Continuous Improvement: Utilised evaluation techniques to measure and enhance the effectiveness of training programs, driving continuous improvement in learning outcomes.

As Programme Director of the MELS Online, I led the transformation of this prestigious two-year postgraduate programme into a blended learning model, integrating face-to-face interactions with e-learning and distance learning methods. In collaboration with the University of Lorraine, I spearheaded the adaptation of the programme to a fully online format during the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring uninterrupted and high-quality legal education. This role showcased my ability to lead and innovate in academic settings, maintaining educational excellence and meeting the needs of a diverse student body across several promotions.

During my tenure at ERA, I specialised in organising high-profile EU law events that drew key stakeholders and experts across various sectors. Notable conferences I directed include 'The Future of Gambling in the EU Internal Market', 'Opening-up of the European Energy Markets', and 'State Aid Fora'. I also led summer schools and sessions on 'European Competition Law', 'European Company Law', the 'Single Market Review, and the Lisbon Treaty'. My international experience was highlighted by delivering lectures at MGIMO-University in Moscow on 'European State Aid Policy', showcasing my adaptability and expertise in navigating significant legal and policy discussions in changing geopolitical landscapes.

My time at Deloitte in 2009, though brief, was pivotal in navigating the complexities of corporate legal documentation, particularly within the context of then-relevant financial regulations like MiFID and UCITS. This experience deepened my understanding of drafting critical legal and corporate materials, enhancing my proficiency in legal drafting tailored to the tax departments. It also provided practical insights into the workforce dynamics during the financial crisis, underlining the 'last in, first out' labor principle prevalent during such economic shifts.

In a contemporary setting, my collaboration in drafting regulations for the National Capital Fund—a public fund of funds focusing on Private Equity/Venture Capital—remains a significant career highlight. This involved advising on the legal framework for operational strategies and corporate governance, aligned with applicable European state aid laws. Working alongside an economist specializing in venture capital, we developed a regulation that reflects modern financial landscapes and investment trends, highlighting my adaptability and forward-thinking approach in the evolving world of finance and governance.

As a junior member of a legal team, I contributed to securing funding for SMEs, transnational companies, universities, and local/regional authorities from European Structural Funds. Currently, this role would involve leveraging updated EU funding frameworks and digital platforms for project applications. My responsibilities included preparing application forms, crafting business plans, conducting feasibility studies, and coordinating projects, emphasizing a blend of legal acumen and project management skills, crucial in today's dynamic European funding landscape.
