I am a Manager in the Finance Practice at AURELIUS. Before joining AURELIUS, I studied Accounting and Finance at Monash University in Melbourne and built my experience in accounting and finance roles across a range of industries, including luxury fashion and fintech.

At AURELIUS, I work closely with portfolio companies and management teams on operational finance and CFO support across many different topics. My role covers everything from liquidity management, reporting, and budgeting to performance improvement and broader finance transformation initiatives throughout the investment lifecycle.

What is the #1 reason why you joined AURELIUS?

I joined AURELIUS because I was looking for a more dynamic and diverse role, and for the opportunity to be part of an entrepreneurial team where different experiences, skill sets, and disciplines come together to help portfolio companies solve complex situations in a hands-on way.

Describe your job

My role is highly varied, covering operational finance and CFO support across different portfolio companies, industries, and situations. The most exciting part is working through new and unfamiliar situations, which means I am constantly learning, problem-solving, and helping businesses improve and unlock value.

Best thing about AURELIUS

The best thing about AURELIUS is the ownership mindset and the exposure you get across different businesses and situations. You work closely with talented colleagues and management teams, with a strong focus on practical impact.

Personal statement

For me, AURELIUS stands out because of the people and the culture. You get to work with talented colleagues from all kinds of backgrounds, people are always willing to support each other and share knowledge, and successes are enjoyed and celebrated together.

Turning complex challenges into results.

I am a Senior Legal Counsel in the M&A Legal Team at AURELIUS. Before joining AURELIUS in 2022, I spent five years as a lawyer at Freshfields in the M&A / Private Equity practice. I studied at Bucerius Law School in Hamburg and completed my legal traineeship at the Higher Regional Court (Kammergericht) in Berlin.

As part of the M&A Legal Team, I am jointly responsible with the Investment Team for company acquisitions and disposals at AURELIUS. I oversee the legal side of each transaction, from structuring and drafting the agreements through to closing. This means working closely with the Deal Team as well as specialists from Tax, Operations, and Financing. Every deal is a team effort and a true collaborative masterpiece.

What is the #1 reason why you joined AURELIUS?

Coming from private practice, I missed the commercial perspective. I wanted to be closer to the numbers, the investment case, and the real decision-making behind whether to pursue a deal. It is incredibly exciting to accompany transactions from an owner’s perspective rather than solely as an external adviser.

Describe your job

My work in the M&A Legal Team is highly varied and dynamic. Every transaction offers insights into new industries and business models. In 2025, I had the opportunity to play a key role in setting up our new fund. The bar is high and the learning curve remains steep and that is exactly what makes the role so rewarding.

Best thing about AURELIUS

The people and the mindset: nothing is impossible. Challenges are seen as opportunities rather than obstacles. I genuinely enjoy coming into the office every day. We achieve a lot and laugh a lot.

Personal statement

As a mother of two young children, AURELIUS places great trust in me and gives me the flexibility I need. This allows me to balance the at times intensive work on exciting transactions with spending meaningful, high‑quality time with my family.

AURELIUS means full responsibility from day one.
