In 2009, I founded the agency Barketing with a focus on SEO and link building. This became LEAP/ through the takeover of ConversionLift in 2015, as SEO and CRO are two sides of the same coin for me. As managing director, I work primarily on a strategic level and supervise internationalizations, relaunches and other projects in large companies. I am also responsible for the development of our services and solutions.
