I am a linguist, philosopher and artist working globally as a leadership coach and consultant with senior executives and leadership teams for a wide range of industries.

The essence of my work is to help improve the quality of conversation, relationship and creative participation in organizations in the context of disruptive change, digital transformations and the future of work.

I help my clients to explore more deeply the role personal commitment, experimentation, language and visualization play in creating movement in organizations, thereby enabling them to become more proficient in understanding their thinking and in role modeling what they want to see more of in their organizations.

In my experience, working in the here and now is necessary to, and beneficial for raising issues that managers are reluctant to bring to the table in their everyday work environment. My clients describe me as very relational, mindful, tenacious, analytical, and creative.

Prior to my own practice as consultant I worked as assistant director at the European office of the State of Wisconsin, Department of Commerce. I have a Master in American Literature, Philosophy and Political Science from the Goethe University in Frankfurt. Psychology, Mindfulness and Neuroscience have for many years been special areas of focus.

I am currently pursuing a PhD in Organization Change at HULT/ Ashridge International Business School in the UK.

I am a sociologist working worldwide with CEOs, senior executives and executive teams of global Fortune 500 companies from a wide range of industries to improve the quality of leadership, connection and engagement within their organizations.
