Dr. Martha de Vries
Management & Back Office
Doctor of economics, lecturer with a teaching position at the University of Hamburg for entrepreneurship, founder and entrepreneur.
Given the broad spectrum of my activities, I have an interest in creative business models and show a high level of commitment in the inter- and transcultural areas. Through numerous conference contributions in an international context and stays abroad, I have a broad understanding of the need for European and global networking. As a native Lithuanian who has lived in Germany since her childhood and has maintained close contact with the country and people of Portugal for decades, I define myself as a European and have the goal of bringing the central idea of Europe closer to as many people as possible. With a strong team behind me and motivated, inquisitive seminar participants, I am putting this matter of the heart into practice.
I speak several languages, including German, English, Lithuanian and Portuguese.
I am always looking for interesting contacts, creative ideas and exciting networks.
Let's get in touch!
