My name is Vera and I am coming from a background of 10+ years of leadership experience in operations and project management. The dynamic context of start-ups is as familiar to me as the corporate environment. My drive and hands-on mentality are complemented by a structured approach and a passion for the big picture.
Much has already been said and written about GITEX Europe, which took place last week at Messe Berlin in Berlin. I would also like to share a couple of my impressions and insights and give a shout-out to the wonderful people I had the chance to share this experience with....
In just 10 days, the distance between Dubai and Berlin will be reduced to zero – at least at one particular spot on the map: the Berlin Expo Center. One of the most exciting tech fairs, GITEX, will be arriving from Dubai to Berlin. Each time an event like this comes up, I hear the same question: “But is it really worth going?” In this article, I want to unpack why – in my view – the answer is yes.

Urban Theater: Planting Roots in Berlin’s Cultural Ground
What do Shakespeare, Machiavelli, Hannah Arendt – and the Lions Club Spandau – have in common? Sounds like the output of a random word generator?
