After finishing high school in 2006, Anne studied business psychology and economics at University of Lüneburg. In her bachelor thesis, she compared the validity of different instruments measuring intuition. In 2011, Anne finished her masters in Organisational Analysis at Warwick Business School. In her master thesis, she examined how school and class composition affect the educational attainment of children with immigration background. She was awarded her Dr. phil. in psychology in December 2016. The title of her dissertation is “Interpersonal knowledge transfer in the context of repatriation.”

During her studies, Anne completed internships in banking (Berenberg Bank) and consulting (Capgemini Consulting). She also led a student-run management consultancy called Contact and Cooperation for two years.

After graduation in 2011, Anne worked as a strategy consultant for The Boston Consulting Group (BCG). She worked on several projects in different industries. For example, she was involved in a reorganization of a manufacturing company, and developed a recycling strategy for a chemicals company.

In my research, I am focusing on how and why (not) employees exchange resources in organizations. Respectful engagement and reciprocal acknowledgment of the value of one’s resources is an important aspect that makes resources exchanges successful.

In my current research project “Work and Aging”, I examine which factors affect resource exchanges between older and younger employees, and whether these different age groups are motivated by different aspects.
