I write about my life as a female immigrant founder
My Blog
I’ve been through quite a learning curve, and I’d love to share what I’ve learned with anyone who could benefit.
My blog might not be all that “thought leadership”-like, and I love it – I want to create connection with people through my honest writing.
Also, life gets busy and some of my writing sits there until I get it out – it’s always easiest to just send me a meeting request or contact me via LinkedIn.
How can I help?
Lay Off in Germany as an employee
Getting laid off is disorienting enough. Doing it in a country where you don’t fully know the system makes it worse. I’ve been there.
We figure out where you stand, what your options are, and what you actually want to do next – before you make any decisions you’ll regret.
Expat-specific challenges: visa, timing, pressure
Understanding your situation and rights
Deciding what comes next
Job search strategy for the German market
Mentorship on cultural codes & soft skills
Germany and the West have its own rules – written and unwritten. For expats, the gap between being good at your job and being seen as good at your job is often cultural. I help you close that gap.
We work on how you show up – in meetings, in feedback conversations, in job searches, in rooms where visibility feels uncomfortable or just plain foreign.
Reading the room in German workplace culture
Building visibility without losing your voice
Interview prep for expats in the German market
Transition from Employee to Founder is tricky and creates a whole new visibility challenge, such as building a presence on LinkedIn.
Speaking & Facilitation
Keynotes, panels, and workshops tailored to your needs. I speak on research, entrepreneurship, and the immigrant founder experience.

Why do you call your project “Pollo Digital”?
I guess that odd name must be addressed.
You pronounce it the spanish matter; In IPA: /ˈpo.ʝo di.xiˈtal/
Or easier: It sounds like “POH-yoh dee-hee-TAHL”
I call my personal project Pollo Digital because, well, it’s funny – a digital chicken.
This name was born in Málaga when I kept mistakenly calling “Polo Digital” (the national digital content hub in Spain) “Pollo Digital” instead.
And that’s how it stuck.

I am fluent in English, German and Russian.
