Anja Ingenrieth, born in 1973, has felt at home in "Europe" for a long time. As a journalist, she came to the "EU capital" Brussels in 2006 and reported on the European Union and NATO for eight years. Then she decided to stop writing about EU legislation and start helping to shape it - as a lobbyist. Initially she worked for Bayer AG, and since mid-2018 Anja has headed Deutsche Telekom's Brussels representative office.
