Why Expat Consultation?
In 2001 I started working as a business analyst and interface between Sales and IT – so I met the first colleagues from India at that time. I was very interested in different cultures and still willing to learn about.In 2005 the Bank I was working for decided to send me to Singapore for a software project – that was my first experience being an expat myself.
When I came back to Germany I quickly realized, that in terms of hospitality Germany is still not a “developed country” – so I started to solve that gap within my small world.
In the meantime this became my passion and also profession, and the world is getting bigger every day…
Look forward to meet you in one of our Seminars or in a 1:1 consultation.

Why Expat Consultation?
Growing up bilingually in Germany I have always admired intercultural environments. Therefore, I
decided for an internationally-oriented bachelor studies. I immediately grew awareness for the
cultural differences but viewed them as potential to broaden our horizons and grow. For this
reason, I spend a semester abroad in another country and continent – the United States. The
positive mindset and openness towards new things fascinated me because it was so different
from my experience in Germany. Before finishing my bachelors degree I coordinated an
optimization project over production sites in India, China, Mexico, US, etc. This international
exchange proofed to me, that various perspectives benefit the overall outcome by leveraging
synergies.
After my masters degree I have planned my personal Expat assignment as consultant in Texas,
Dallas. Unfortunately, it was cancelled due to covid 19 reasons… Now 3 years later, the passion
to optimize processes and the aspiration for an intercultural environment brought me to German
Sherpa.
Expat Background
- Studied in the United States partly
- International optimization projects in SCM (India, China, Mexico,…)
Hobbies
- Travelling (25+ countries)
- Basketball
- Reading
Naim Chantal Ferreira
Job Background
After graduating from school, I started my apprenticeship for insurance and finance.
Why Expat Consultation?
Enthused by the options and possibilities given, I decided to advise expats after some time of consulting, as I myself come from an expatriate family and know how it can sometimes feel. I have advised several expats from Africa, especially Nigeria, who were very happy to have the opportunity to settle here in Germany and get professional advice.
At German Sherpa, we assure you that we will help you move forward in life and build a solid foundation for your future that you can trust and rely on.
