Russian investor, Edward Shenderovich, played an integral role in the success of young business entrepreneur, Jan Beckers, making him a key figure in the Berlin start-up scene.

Shenderovich’s characteristics are paramount to success. It is no wonder that the Russian financier supports partners, who are just as quick and agile as he is, like Lukasz Gadowski  Cofounder of Team Europe and Jan Beckers, CEO of HitFox Group with their companies in Germany, Europe and beyond. Mark Hoffmann of Heureka Conference, described Berlin as “A European hotspot for technology.”   Read full article here in RusslandHEUTE.

So many wedding invitations coming up, but I guess the typical romantic movie phrase: “June Wedding,” has been engrained in our subconscious mainstream minds for years growing up.

I know American weddings can be super cheesy, with the chicken dance and in recent years, shuffling to the Macarena with our 80 year old elders, but at German weddings, I wonder what they consider family friendly music? If I had to guess, I might say this song is quite a schlager classic and has a sweet romantic undertone, right? Haha….

Often, my friends who follow what I am doing in my life, ask me with such curiosity:
“What exactly do you do? You seem to be so passionate & happy about whatever you’re working on!?” said the lawyer & banker friends to their fellow Master’s graduate who chose to work in the internet/tech/startup industry.

Moral of this story: Do more of what makes you happy and less of what doesn’t :-)

I love lazy days…. It’s a three day holiday weekend in Germany and I decided to take a day to read. Real books. Printed and published books, not ebooks.  Getting back to the basics feels nice sometimes.

An iconic female public figure wrote me to say that I remind her of herself when she was younger and that she is happy to see more women powering through their dreams (against adversity or stereotypes) with the same fierce ambition that is typically attributed to high level men, but can still maintain the feminine grace & beauty of being “a Lady.” 

Ever since I strategically chose to attend Bucerius Law School back in 2009, my life has only grown in experiences for the better. Now in 2013 with my recent relocation to Berlin, taking a position with HitFox Group and conquering my New Year’s resolutions from 2012, I have been the happiest I have ever been in my life and don’t look back on my past, other than to smile at all the things that led up to bringing me to the point where I am at now in my fast growing career.

Festival of Lights celebration in Chiang Mai, Thailand - Skies are no longer the “limit.”

Work is my passion and is the force that currently drives me, but intrinsically, I have learned a lot about myself, what I look for in others, and overall, when the time is right, I am sure it will all come together exactly as it should.  And yes Mom, I promise, you will witness feats by your daughter that will make you prouder than you already are - That is a guarantee.

“I gotta brand new pair of Roller Skates….”

Thanks Mom, you are not only the example of a real woman, that I had the honor to be raised by, but also the gift to this world with all your talents, creativity, and “tough,” but unconditional love.  Because of you, I have always been a survivor. Words or monetary gifts could never express to you the true value of your selfless Motherhood to us, but I think being an exceptional woman in my own life, is the true testimony that you did one fine, helluva job and we love you very much.
