“Hello, my name is Katharina and since 2018 I have been working as an Economic Analyst at the European Commission’s Directorate General for Economic and Financial Affairs (DG ECFIN). Currently, I am coordinating the implementation of the Recovery and Resilience Plans in Member States. It is an exciting work to contribute to the implementation of NextGenerationEU, with the biggest spending programme of the European Union so far.

I am a trained economist and before joining the European Commission as an official, I worked in the public administration in Austria and later as Seconded National Expert and Contract Agent in the European Commission’s Directorate General for Employment, Social Affairs & Inclusion (DG EMPL) on the implementation of the European Semester and the European Social Fund.

What makes the work at the European Commission so stimulating and motivating is that I can make a difference by contributing to policy-making with my analytical skills and by creating solutions for European citizens. On top this, I very much enjoy working in such a dynamic and international environment.
