Summary

As a leader with many years of experience in consulting, organizational development, communication, change and diversity management, I support companies and organizations in digital and cultural transformation processes - from strategic design through AI-supported approaches to empowering leaders and teams. With systemic insight, empathy and a clear stance, I shape communication, learning processes and leadership culture so that change is understood, embraced and successfully implemented.

Reliability, down-to-earth attitude and humanity. I also value authenticity, open-mindedness and tolerance - principles I live by both privately and professionally. My Rhineland roots shape my joy for life, my optimism and my belief: successful change comes from clarity, trust and appreciative collaboration.
