As a US citizen, I have worked for KPMG in various countries for over 30 years, including more than 20 years in Germany. I have many years of experience in auditing individual and consolidated financial statements in accordance with HGB, IFRS and US-GAAP for global companies as well as German subsidiaries of US companies. My strengths include extensive transaction and deal experience, including IPOs and capital increases as well as the placement of corporate bonds, both in Europe and in the USA. I have detailed industry knowledge in the automotive and technology sectors. As Head of the Country Practice USA at KPMG Germany, I want to ensure that our clients receive the best advice and outstanding services from all areas of KPMG. Whether it is through the involvement of our KPMG specialists, who have a deep understanding of the specific situation and challenges in the market, or by utilizing appropriate services from the KPMG world that reflect the individual needs of my clients.
