Especially the lectures on media law as well as on sports rights, licenses and exploitation have laid a good foundation for my current area of responsibility.

The lectures in English language as well as my semester abroad in America help me today especially in the handling of international cooperations.

In my current position, I benefit daily from my experience and knowledge from MBS studies. And by that I don't mean a specific subject that has been taught, but rather the entire package.

The sports business has so many and different facets that it is less about having precise knowledge in a specific area. Rather, my everyday work requires above all networked thinking and interdisciplinary solution finding, and thanks to the "magic triangle" (sport, business, communication) I can do justice to this.

I communicate daily with the most diverse target groups: with fans, players, departments in the club, as well as agencies and service providers.

In terms of content, my everyday work is very varied and requires broad knowledge and skills. Thanks to my studies, I am perfectly positioned for the varied and demanding requirements at FC Bayern Munich.
