I graduated in home economics at the Institute for Pedagogical Studies in Innsbruck and in Business Management at the Leopold-Franzens University of Innsbruck. After a two-year project for the Austrian Chamber of Commerce I was working and lecturing at the former Department of Marketing and Retailing before I finished my doctorate in 1997. In 2000 I was granted a Marie-Curie fellowship from the European Commission and spent a year at the department of Marketing at Tilburg University, Tilburg, The Netherlands. After finishing my Habilitation thesis in 2006 I was visiting researcher at the Schulich School of Business, York University in Toronto, Canada and visiting professor at the Ecole Supérieur des Economiques et Commerciales, Paris, France. I am guest professor at the Université Paris-Dauphine in Paris, and guest lecturer at the International Luxury MBA at the ESSEC business school, since 2008.
