Wiebke Linnemann

Manager in Vienna, Austria

I'm a Sport- and Eventmanagement professional, with 12+ years work experience - my main focus: multi-sport events & I'm always looking for 'once-in-a-lifetime' opportunities.

My current project: I once again returned to Austria (Vienna) and my former employer - the Austrian Paralympic Committee - working as Austria House Manager Paralympics RIO 2016.

While spending the Summer in Vienna after wrapping-up the National Games Special Olympcis Hannover 2016, I'm still looking for new challenges around the Globe.

Driven by my passion... the Olympic and Paralympic Games, as well as the Special Olympics, I gained vast knowledge and skills in Games Management, Operations and a number of other Functional Areas. In addition I never lost touch to Olympic education and the core values of the Olympic and Paralympic Movement.

With focus on improving my Leadership skills while working in Hanover, I'm also trying to increase my network within the Sport and Eventmanagement environment.

I'd like to connect with people who are looking for someone like me: interested in mentoring Young Professionals and in sharing knowledge by giving lectures, workshops, etc. - it's about time to give something back...

And - as I'm seeking support to define possible (& reasonable) next career steps - I'd be interested in becoming a Mentee myself - to be guided towards a possible follow-up Leadership position.

Last but not least I'm also interested in meeting people from all over the world who share my passion, share my dreams, love the mountains and the sea, can't say no to a good book, a steaming mug of coffee & quality time within an international, diverse crowd!

... looking forward to meeting you!
