Nobody in the German market knows the luxury industry better than Astrid Oberhummer. For over 25 years it has specialized in this segment and revolutionized the luxury travel market with its ideas and service offers. What does luxury mean and how do you sell it properly? Astrid shares this knowledge regularly in the context of training courses and appearances as a guest speaker. Within the company, she leads the sales team and, together with the team, develops innovative products that provide real value for luxury tour operators and vendors.

Andreas is an entrepreneur for almost two thirds of his life. A high degree of inner freedom and self-determination are for him the most important leitmotifs as an entrepreneur. He also teaches this to his trainees - because Andreas is a successful entrepreneur coach and neurostrategist in addition to his role as managing director at Lobster Experience. For Lobster he holds all the strings in his hand: what his role models used to be, entrepreneurial mogul Richard Branson, boxing world champion Wladimir Klitschko, Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz and many more, are today friendly partners with whom he works together.

Anna Katharina is a mystery to us. She's just perfect at everything. Fast, structured, forward-looking and always with everything in view, she organizes all lobster events - from the sales dinners to our B2B fair loop. Her colleagues therefore affectionately call her "Johnny Controlleti". And also privately Anna Katharina is a real whirlwind, who prefers to be on the move with her husband and her children, whether on the dance floor or in distant countries. She has gained her professional experience in various 5-star hotels all over the world.

Natalia, is an organisational talent par excellence! The trained event manager has already mastered events with up to 2,000 people and now enriches the event team at Lobster. Her experience in project management, her quality awareness, her hands-on mentality and, above all, the fact that she always keeps a cool head makes her simply indispensable for our loops. With new ideas and concepts, she is full of drive and not only manages to positively surprise us every day, but certainly a lot of loopers. As a contrast to her colourful and active everyday working life, Natalia can often be found with a book in her hand in her free time – probably also when she walks different part of the Camino de Santiago alone, as she does every year. Although she has never been to London, she is convinced that it is her favourite city. A loop in London? Well, who knows...

Loop Plus is the latest innovation from Lobster Experience, which builds a virtual bridge to the entire Lobster and loop network throughout the year and provides the community valuable contacts and added value. As project manager for the Loop Plus platform, Thomas is responsible for the operational planning, implementation and management of the project. He is the interface to the partners involved as well as different company departments such as development, advertising and service. As a private pilot, he is used to keeping control in tricky situations. In combination with his boating license, he could even fly seaplanes.

A network is only as good as its contacts. Our Irina therefore ensures the high quality of our Loop Plus network, including the maintenance and control of data and the establishment of contacts with buyers in the DACH market. Her training as a tourism specialist and many years of experience in tourism are of great benefit to her. Her areas of experience include product development, customer care and quality management. Outside of work, Irina enjoys travelling and getting to know new cultures. She is passionate about sport, especially skiing. In life, genuine friendship and good family relationships are important to her.

After many moves to different cities such as New York, Vienna and Las Palmas, it is no surprise that Friederike was also attracted to tourism professionally.

Born and raised in one of the world's most colorful and lively metropolises, Istanbul, Yasmin discovered her love for PR while still in her infancy. At the age of nine, she won a large-scale writing competition, and later worked her way up from trainee to creative director at the international PR agency Grayling. Her clients included British Airways, Tourism Kenya and Vueling Airlines. As an enthusiastic communicator and globetrotter, her motto is: Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life. In her free time, Yasmin can often be found on a tennis court - no matter where in the world, because one of her favorite hashtags is #homeiswhereatenniscourtis.

Yasmine's interest in foreign cultures has always shaped her personal and professional life and has repeatedly taken her to different places around the world: she has already worked in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Her destiny then led her to Lobster Experience, where she now enriches the Lobster Communications team as PR Manager. She takes great pleasure in intensively familiarizing herself with the partners' topics in order to then prepare them in an exciting way for our media partners. In her free time, she loves languages. Besides German, she also speaks English, Italian, Spanish and French.

With a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration in hand and some initial work experience, Christina knocked on our Lobster door. Why? She was very attracted to our company culture, as she completely identifies with our philosophy and culture. Christina fits perfectly into our Lobster Talent Academy as a Business Development Assistant, supporting the sales team in the back office, maintaining our CRM, and taking on PA tasks for our Astrid. This requires coordination skills, much like dancing, which Christina enjoys in her free time. She is also actively involved with the children's charity UNICEF. Her motivation is to support children in need. To this end, she helps collect donations, organize events, and find new donors.
