Communication and Followership
“I had the pleasure to work with Anna when she was re-designing marketing for Amazon Seller Services in DE, basically fully professionalizing our approach and bringing it to a completely new level, showing in its strong results regarding seller insights and engagement. Anna has strong communication skills, is eager to not only present, but also fight for her new ideas, where her structured thinking, a high energy level, and trustworthy and hands-on attitude make it easy for her to gain followership.”

Ownership and Action
“Anna has a drive for ownership and a natural bias for action - key Amazon leadership principles but also general qualities one appreciates in any colleague. She particularly excelled in communication campaigns that supported our policy work and engaged with external stakeholders building valuable relationships. Anna is the diving deep type and you never get anything half-baked from her.”

Solution-Oriented and Adaptable
“I consider Anna to be a smart ‘solution architect’ who excels in delivering high-class results for her customers. I am certain that she will stand out among regular consultants and add real value for her customers. Especially, since she is perfectly able to adapt to new challenges and environments quickly, but also possesses a deep knowledge on all things SMEs.”

Strategic thinking and execution
“Anna has excellent structural and analytical skills, a quick grasp of detail combined with an ability to join the dots in order to solve bigger underlying problems. Most importantly Anna has grit, is tenacious and will give everything she has to solve a problem. Anna combined her sales, marketing and business acumen with EU policy expertise to deliver new innovative policies for start ups and small entrepreneurs. She led the initial set up and scale up of the Amazon Small Business accelerator in Germany and expanded the programme across Europe.”
