Deputy Head of Communications, Fundraising Division
Markus Dressnandt has been enriching EuroNatur’s work since 2008 with the “critical eye of a career changer”. In his early years at the foundation, the qualified hotel management graduate worked as an assistant to the management. From 2015, he took the lead in establishing the digital fundraising department, and has held his current position since 2020. He is responsible for private and corporate fundraising, as well as donor services. He works tirelessly to continuously raise EuroNatur’s profile both at home and abroad. Together with the motivated teams at EuroNatur, Markus Dressnandt develops strategies and concepts to ensure targeted communication with prospective supporters and donors. In doing so, he often acts as a bridge-builder between technology, data and people, always with the aim of strengthening the connection between people and nature.
Having grown up in Kronstadt, Romania, where ‘bears used to roam the garden’, a close connection to nature has always been an important part of his life. He says: “EuroNatur’s motto, ‘Connecting people and nature’, is one that I believe in deeply. Every day, I am delighted to be able to work within this extensive, international network and to make my contribution to preserving nature and the environment for future generations.”
