As project coordinator, I am responsible for processing and disbursing the funds for the projects that our project partners submit to us. I particularly enjoy strengthening and supporting our partners through ERSTE Foundation's funding.

The previous stages of my professional career were also characterised by advising and supporting customers and partners. My path led me from being a customer advisor at Erste Bank to the Erste Bank's department for supporting savings banks and, in 2024, to ERSTE Foundation.

The founding principle of the Erste Oesterreichische Sparcasse (»No age, no gender, no social standing, no nationality is excluded from the benefits that the savings bank offers to every depositor«), on which the purpose of ERSTE Foundation and the work it does are also based—promoting research and innovation, education and science, art and culture as well as business and technology—is the best motivation for me.
