Speaker profile: Claudia Sommer

After one of our speaker from the "Politics" session had to cancel for medical reasons last week, we worked on finding a person who can address similar topics. We're pleased to announce that Claudia Sommer accepted to give a presentation at Lift10. She is webmanager at Greenpeace Germany since 2007, responsible for the implementation of their social media strategy. In this session, Claudia will present some case studies of how an NGO such as Greenpeace employs digital technologies for political campaigns and pressuring institutions and governments.

Prior to this she occupied various positions in web business, for companies such as Electronic Commerce Center, SmartStore and Materna. Furthermore, she has provided her expertise as a communications consultant for Bertelsmann and Deutsche Post. Her keen sense of creative potential, technical feasibility and evaluation of innovative technologies as well as trends, has turned her into a social media evangelist.

She holds a graduate degree as a Multimedia Producer from the SAE Cologne. In her free time, she spins some records as a DJ :)
