I'll share these insights through recurring reports, briefs, and presentations at our events and forums, and invite feedback that continuously sharpens the relevance and applicabil- ity of the data. This ensures a closed loop between analysis and action, making industry intelligence both a compass and a catalyst for the community. I hope to consistently turn information into outcomes for the people building the future of electronics. How does industry intelligence support the Associa- tion's mission? Industry intelligence is core to the organization's mission because it empowers our members to better navigate a fiercely competitive and incredibly com- plex global marketplace marked by increasing supply chain volatility. These insights on the market contex- tualize global developments related to trade, tech- nology, and regulation. We help members benchmark themselves, adapt to disruptions, and seize growth opportunities. Industry intelligence provides the evidence base for effective advocacy and standards work, strengthens collaboration across companies and governments, and ensures our members remain competitive in the ecosystem. It sounds like you have very ambitious goals. What does your day-to-day work look like and what is next on your agenda?

In my free time, I especially enjoy spending weekends outdoors and exploring the countryside. This gives me a chance to relax, discover new places, and appreciate the natural surroundings of Bavaria. Living close to both the city and scenic land- scapes is something I really value, as it offers urban amenities and peaceful nature. It's the best of both worlds.
