Project management
I take on full projects that run across several months, either overseeing the whole process or leading a defined workstream. This can include venue, technical production, catering, set building, signage, speaker and artist management, travel and hotels, hospitality and guest management - alongside timelines, budgets, vendors and stakeholder communication.
It also covers marketing campaign management, new software introductions and process revamps - most recently rolling out Asana across a 160-person team at Native Instruments, including workflow design and hands-on training.
On-site lead 路 show direction
On site, I oversee vendor coordination, guest management or show operations, depending on the assignment. My work includes show direction, show calling, stage management and speaker coordination at corporate events, conferences, award ceremonies, festivals, and brand activations. Agencies and companies bring me in when they need someone who can step in at any stage, take ownership, and make it work.
Conference hotel search
For companies planning multi-day conferences and meetings, I handle the hotel search from brief to signed contract. I evaluate venues as a producer, not a travel agent - I take your planned programme, check it against what each hotel can actually execute, and give you comparable offers to choose from. Fixed mandate fee. No hotel affiliations.
With 20 years in event production, touring, and project management, I鈥檝e built a career on making complex things work - reliably, calmly, and with attention to detail.
My path started in film production - working on set in the camera department as a clapper loader and first assistant on TV films and series produced for German broadcasters including ARD, ZDF, and SAT.1. From there, I spent a decade at the heart of the international electronic music industry - first as Richie Hawtin鈥檚 sole project manager and tour director, running world tours across Coachella, Sonar, and Creamfields, then as co-founder of Extend Artist Agency GmbH, managing his worldwide bookings alongside WME and Paradigm - before moving into corporate events and project management.
Today, I deliver projects for brands like SAP, Miele, and TikTok. Most recently, I led the implementation of Asana at Native Instruments, designing workflows and training a 160-person team on cross-functional collaboration. It鈥檚 the kind of work I love most: building structures that help teams work better.
I hold a Bachelor Professional of Business (CCI) and am a certified Change Manager, Scrum Master, and AEVO Trainer - always looking for smarter ways to work.
I bring clarity to complex projects and make sure they run smoothly, even when things move fast.
Whether you need an on-site lead, project manager, event producer, or help finding the right conference hotel - I鈥檇 love to hear from you.
"Franzie has a reputation for finding a way to make things work, for eagerly learning new skills to advance her projects, and for her general tenacity. She is used to working in highly stressful situations, can adjust to last minute changes, and is the first person I would hire as a co-founder, operations manager, or project manager."

"I've had the privilege of working with Franziska for over 10 years across flagship events, creative campaigns, and artist relations at Native Instruments. What sets her apart is her ability to connect on a personal level - she always adapts her communication to hit the right tone, whether engaging with a tour manager, a top-tier DJ, or a tech CEO. Her track record, combined with her unique blend of professional rigor and personal touch, makes her an ideal collaborator in any setting."
