My name is Adi,
and I was born and raised in a small town by the ocean in north-western Germany. I studied at Cambridge & Harvard before spending years in consulting and at startups in the US, the UK, Australia, Ghana, South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, and of course Germany. I emerged with deep appreciation for the exceptional talent and drive across the continent.
Back in Germany I’ve held executive positions in tech — including at Zalando and Blinkist — consistently hiring international talent and seeing how complex the German visa journey can be and what it takes to succeed in getting people here.
Over that decade, I’ve supported countless individuals with their immigration processes, student visas, nanny/Aupair visas, Ausbildungsvisas, skilled worker visas, opportunity card visas and family reunion visas. So far, the rate of success is 100%.
Today, I combine my German roots & knowledge of the German labor market and immigration system to help people build long-term careers in Germany.
I live in Berlin with my husband and three wild daughters.
Why I’m Doing This:
Fifty years ago, a single letter changed my family’s fate.
In 1972, my 22‑year‑old father was living in Lagos, Nigeria. He dreamed of studying abroad, but the U.S. and U.K. were financially out of reach. Then came an airmail letter from a friend of a friend in Germany: “Come to Germany. Tuition is free.”
Through handwritten letters, he learned every step — how to get the visa, when to travel, even which train to take to arrive in Munich. He came, became a doctor, delivered hundreds of babies, started his own practice, created jobs — and eventually, created me.
At 16 years old, I left my humble home town to explore the world. I got to work across more than a dozen countries, so I know personally how complicated immigration can be — and how life‑changing it becomes once you meet someone who truly knows the way. Back in Germany, I began helping skilled professionals navigate their move to Germany. I saw the same challenges repeated again and again: great talent, but missing guidance. And I saw what a game changer it can be, once you have a knowledgeable friend that makes you believe the journey is possible and shows you how.
That’s why I started MiGreat — to scale the friend who knows the way to Germany. So that anyone, anywhere, can access the same clarity and support my father once found through a simple letter.
