I like to share knowledge, which is why I am not limited just to speaking, but also am interested in workshops / expert tables and moderation. Additionally I have become a frequent advisor for organizers of conferences as well as am involved in several barcamps.

One of my favourite topics is how to grow your business internationally, both from the side of for example the US coming to Europe as vice versa, but I am also happy to 'just' transport what is so special about the net and web 2.0.
