About Me
-
I’m a passionate advocate for sustainable and inclusive mobility, driven by a love for connecting people, sparking ideas, and turning challenges into meaningful change.

Since 2019, I’ve contributed to the digital transformation of public transport at Deutsche Bahn. From 2020 to 2023, I served as Senior International Sales & Business Development Manager at ioki, where I helped grow the company’s presence in the UK and Irish markets for Demand-Responsive Transport solutions.
In 2020, I founded the Young Mobility Network (YMN) to support and empower the next generation of mobility professionals. What started as a grassroots initiative has grown into a vibrant European network of 800+ young professionals, formalized as a company in 2024, hosting events, building communities, and establishing international hubs.
In 2025, I launched Anna Filby Consulting & Professional Training to support innovative projects across mobility, public transport, and beyond, bridging strategy, accessibility, and collaboration to shape the future of mobility..
