"I did not become fearless by accident. I became fearless because I had to."
the story
From Beirut to the
podium
Hong Kong. Beirut. Wall Street.
The podium.
Born in Hong Kong to a German mother and a Chinese father, Martina spent her childhood in Asia, the Middle East and Europe. Living in Beirut between the ages of eight and ten, during the Lebanese War, shaped the fearlessness she is known for today.
Two Master of Science degrees led to senior roles at KPMG, PwC, Lehman Brothers and Ian Schrager Hotels. Then she built her own companies: So! Animation, which earned Emmy and Telly awards, and Neoteric Luxury, an award-winning outdoor furniture manufacturing house & DK Racing School, So Cal's Premier Driving School.
At 50 she changed her life completely and became a race car driver. Today she is a three-time champion in her Porsche 911, an FIA licensed driver who raced professionally for Saleen in the GT World Challenge, and the CEO of the world's first woman-owned racing school. A mother of two daughters, and Harvard Trained Wellness Coach and MSF Level 3 Instructor, she is passionate about helping people become champion race car drivers and helping women remember who they are and fear nothing.
"Anything is possible at any age, if you believe in yourself."
