My Essence

In my career, I have seen how essential it is to connect strategy, responsibility, and leadership. Organisations today face immense pressure – from new regulation to societal expectations. My mission is to provide orientation and enable leadership, especially when uncertainty is high.

My Contribution

  • Dual perspective: experience in international NGOs (e.g. Save the Children), start-ups, and corporates – a rare combination.
  • Proven transformation success: I have led scaling, turnaround, and change processes myself.
  • Leadership focus: I link sustainability expertise with practical leadership experience – creating value beyond technical advice.
  • Credibility & impact: as executive, founder, and advisor, I have delivered lasting organisational change.
  • Governance competence: I translate this experience into board roles to shape transformation at the highest level.

Your Success

  • Orientation in uncertain times: strategies that are both compliant and future-ready
  • Strengthened leadership culture: leaders who remain resilient, clear, and effective
  • Effective transformation: structured change processes that build acceptance
  • Legitimacy & trust: through ESG compliance, transparent reporting, and responsible supply chains
  • Long-term value creation: for companies, stakeholders, and society
