With more than 30 years of industry experience, my heart still beats for the event industry. I literally found my dream job!
I joined the AIM Group in June 1990, current role Senior Project Manager / Business Manager DMC. Born and raised in Sweden until I decided to go abroad and after some travelling, I got based in Vienna, Austria. My responsibilities at AIM include overall Project Management, consultancy and meeting supervision, venue search, destination management, hotel and venue management, transportation logistics & client acquisition. I speak fluently Swedish, German and English. I understand Norwegian and Danish very well.
Married, three daughters, our oldest daughter studies medicine, our middle daughter will become a dentist and the youngest just started to study economics.
How I spend my leisure time – very active - in Austria's stunning combination of lakes and mountains. Preferably with my Family and our lovely dog! Hiking, cycling or skiing are my favourite outdoor activities. Swimming is also my passion, I am since year’s an active competition judge for the Austrian Swimming Federation.
Another major role in my life is my love of classical music – no better city to live in than Vienna. The city of Music!
I was born in Mexico City and moved to Israel at the age of 13, fluent in Spanish, English, Hebrew and French. Graduated from “Les Roches”, a Hotel Management School in Switzerland. I have extensive experience in luxury 5-star hotels specializing in the Catering Sales and Food & Beverage departments. Today I am the CEO and owner of an event production company based in Israel and I am also a Project Manager at Kenes Group. I love the combination of both and would not give up any of them. It allows me to use my creative skills, my passion for food and my love for hospitality.
