Who I am

As an engineer, I have worked in various companies. I started in an owner-managed medium-sized company with 100 employees and now work in a corporation with more than 30,000 employees.

Different management tasks, strategic and project-oriented activities, conception and implementation of trainings, coaching of employees and students have constantly sharpened my sense for people and leadership. Analytical and methodical principles help me to identify and to visualize interdependencies. Understanding leadership as an inner attitude, so that people can develop and contribute with their talents and personalities, that is an essential part I was able to learn in all the years of my life.

In 2018, a personal crisis had inspired me to make a change. Since then, resilience became tangible for me and a conscious part of my life. Developing personal resilience and live it in my own environment, as well as change processes in organizations often lead to conflict situations. This was a trigger to become a certified mediator. Applying these aspects of communication into everyday life and working as a mediator is a genuine passion of mine.

Making society

How I work

  • I listen, exchange and build a trustful relationship

  • I take a pragmatic and energetic approach to work

  • I am creative with common sense

  • I map out options for action in the future

  • I connect the dots and like to explore interdependencies, in a circular and systemic way

  • I try out new paths, concepts and methods, learn and adapt where meaningful

  • I am engaged and with love on things I am doing and take gratefully every growth and new experience.

  • I pause to reflect and to be mindful

  • I step back when I realize my own limitations and when the competencies of others are more helpful

  • I am in the thick of it and less at the sideline
