Originally from Germany, I currently work as an Associate Professor of Marketing at Toulouse Business School in France. I received my Ph.D. degree (summa cum laude, with distinction) in Business Administration from the University of Hamburg in 2018. My research interests include global and local branding, cross-cultural consumer behavior, and methodological issues in international marketing research. Accordingly, my work is characterized by a strong international focus, multi-national samples, and rigorous research techniques (e.g., multi-group structural equation modeling, hierarchical linear modeling). My work has been published in the Journal of International Business Studies, Journal of International Marketing, International Marketing Review, and Journal of Business Research.

This course deals with the basic principles of marketing on the one hand, and key market research methods on the other hand. Among other things, the students learn how to apply regression analysis, cluster analysis, and conjoint analysis to address questions related to the development and marketing of products and services.
This course covers multiple topics related to branding, ranging from basic branding strategies (e.g., brand extensions, brand licensing) via current trends in retail branding (e.g., private labels) to methodologically more demanding aspects, such as brand valuation (comparative discussion of available approaches in theory and practice).
This course consists of a theoretical part on marketing strategy and a simulation game in which groups of students compete against each other in a virtual market environment. Based on an in-depth market analysis, the students develop a marketing plan to achieve self-defined strategic goals and implement corresponding marketing mix decisions.
This course focuses on operational aspects of marketing products successfully, i.e., the development and implementation of concrete marketing actions in the context of an integrated marketing program. Students learn about key marketing concepts and tools that managers have at their disposal to stimulate sales and customer loyalty.
This course deals with the particularities of designing, operating, and marketing services. The students apply their newly gained knowledge (e.g., the 7 P's of services marketing) by developing a detailed marketing plan for a real-world service business, with the aim of improving the customer experience and firm performance.
Over the past five years, I supervised about 25 master theses and 10 bachelor theses on various topics, including global and local brands, country-of-origin effects, cultural and psychic distance, and cross-cultural consumer behavior.
