About me

After completing my master's degree in Cultural Studies and Southeast Asian Studies at Humboldt University in Berlin, I wanted to get some supplementary practical training - and earned my diploma in Industrial Design at the University of the Arts in Berlin. While working in various industry-related positions, I expanded my business knowledge and additionally obtained a MicroMaster in International Business Management at the Thunderbird School of Global Management.

During my professional career, I have acquired experience with communication from different perspectives: as researcher at Vitra, as managing editor at Stylepark, as press spokesperson / content manager at ERCO - and now as editor-in-chief of the website at Roland Berger.

Since neuroscience and brain-computer interfaces become increasingly available, I'm writing about it on my personal Instagram blog.

Blog name

This is a private blog. It has no connection to my regular work. That's why I started it under the name nina.lilienthal (my actual name is Nina Reetzke). As a child, my grandmother showed me our family tree. Between seafarers, farmers and a hairdresser, there was also the aviation pioneer Otto Lilienthal. Since then, I use the name "Nina Lilienthal" when I need a pseudonym. In spring 2023, I went to see historical places of the Lilienthals in Berlin. The brothers Otto and Gustav were not only forerunners in flying and building, but also dedicated supporters of social reforms and performative arts.
