She then spent 13 years at Heraeus, handling international tax matters, corporate projects, and serving as Head of Finance in the United States. In 2015, she joined Evonik Industries, where she held senior leadership positions in Accounting, Finance, Strategy, and the Performance Materials division. Most recently, she served on the Executive Board with responsibility for the CFO function.
