Jasmin Wölke hosts conferences, galas and corporate events in English, in German or switching between both. At SAP's Tech Leadership Forum she moderated two full days in English, leading eight panels in front of more than 300 executives.
How to spot real stage English
Many moderators in Germany list English as a second language. On stage, the difference shows quickly. Almost anyone can deliver a scripted welcome in English. The hard part happens in between: picking up a spontaneous question from the audience, bridging a technical glitch, politely interrupting a panelist who runs long. Those moments decide whether the evening flows or stalls.
So ask one simple question before you book: where did this person last host a complete event in English, not just single segments? And hold the briefing call in English.
English from corporate life, not from a language course
Jasmin's English comes from more than ten years inside international corporations. At Robert Bosch she worked in international sales and marketing, with further roles at SAP and the Volkswagen Group. English was the working language: negotiations, presentations, meetings with colleagues across several continents.
That background shapes her hosting. She knows the vocabulary of sales, technology and transformation, never has to paraphrase, and catches the nuances in between. Her full background is on the curriculum page.
Three international events as proof
At SAP's Tech Leadership Forum, Jasmin moderated eight expert panels and fireside chats, entirely in English. Two days, more than 300 executives, focused on digital transformation. She hosted Bosch's Global Sales Summit bilingually: over 500 participants from 40 countries, three days, twelve speakers. At the International Business Summit she was the main host for more than 400 participants, in both languages. All projects are listed under references.
Fully English or seamless switching: what fits when
If your audience is international throughout, running the event entirely in English works best. With German and international guests mixed in one room, seamless switching is often the better choice. Jasmin then opens in both languages, summarises key points briefly in the other one, and switches to the guest's language for interviews.
The effect: nobody in the room feels left out, and English-speaking guests on stage answer in their stronger language. Especially in panel discussions with an international line-up, this makes the difference.
Formats and booking
Bilingual hosting is included in all three packages on the services page, from stage hosting to multi-day support. It fits every format: corporate events and galas, conferences, panels, trade fair appearances. How a booking works, from enquiry through briefing to event day, is described under book a moderator. Jasmin also delivers keynotes in English or German: see the keynote speaker page. Jasmin works across Germany and internationally, based in Ludwigsburg near Stuttgart.
