Markus Payer

Founder & Director

In 2020, I founded waveL, leveraging my extensive background as a communication executive and media editor, along with some practical hand luggage. My passions include high-tech innovations, intelligent systems, international teams, courage, challenges, and creativity.

Throughout my corporate career, I have held senior roles at SES, RTL Group and Nation Branding in Luxembourg, the C-Band Alliance in Washington DC, Syngenta in Switzerland, and Bertelsmann in both Germany and the United States.

Prior to this, I spent many years as a journalist, reporter, correspondent, and editor for esteemed organisations such as Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Reuters, and SpaceWatch Global.

Additionally, I take pride in my role as Board Chair of the Asteroid Foundation.

Maria Freitas

Digital Marketing & Social Media

Born in Portugal, contaminated by the sun and the sea, I share my energy for life with everyone who crosses my path! I’ve always been very talkative, which is one of the reasons I chose my academic career.

As a Communication graduate, my speciality lies in Digital Marketing and I’m currently studying for a Master’s degree in Creative Industries Management with the aim of broadening my knowledge in the areas of strategic and business management of projects, financing and internationalisation in the cultural and creative sectors.
When I’m not looking for new tools, concepts and technologies to develop disruptive communication and marketing strategies, you can find me bingeing a series or walking around “Cidade Invicta”.
