How and when did you join PASS? 

In 2015, I transferred from the professional club OFC to the semi-professional club Viktoria as a soccer player and then applied to PASS. At the time, PASS was the main sponsor and wanted to gain a foothold in sports in addition to its existing business areas. This was a great opportunity for me to start my professional career while still being able to play soccer at a high level. PASS made this possible for me, and I was able to gradually develop into the BU manager over the last few years.

What are your responsibilities at PASS?

I manage the Business Unit Sports and am therefore responsible for all activities within our unit. This includes internal and external projects, the development and refinement of our products, and, of course, the search for new ideas, innovations, and unique selling points. I am also active in sales and take care of personnel management - in other words, a very diverse range of tasks that never gets boring.

Which part of your job do you enjoy the most?

To be honest, there isn't one single aspect that I would highlight - it's the whole package that makes it so appealing. The variety, the dynamism, and the new challenges every day make the job exciting. But what I enjoy most is seeing how we grow together as a team, celebrate successes, and overcome difficult phases together. Just like in sports, this teamwork is an important key to success.

How would you describe your team in three words and why?

Ambitious, reliable, and resilient. Many members of our team have a background in sports themselves - and it shows. They bring the competitive spirit, teamwork, and mental strength needed to succeed in a demanding market. Combined with their reliability, this provides a solid foundation for achieving great things together.

What advice would you give to someone new to PASS?

Stay focused, tackle things with enthusiasm, and work independently on your tasks. Get actively involved, be curious and open—both to new ideas and to feedback. If you start with this attitude, you will quickly find your place and feel at home. 

What compensation do you seek in your spare time?

I am still active in sports and occasionally play soccer with the traditional team of Viktoria Aschaffenburg or go running. My volunteer work as a Bambini coach also keeps me busy. I find the greatest balance when I spend time with my kids or work on the perfect lawn in my garden.
