I work worldwide as an Executive Coach and Leadership Consultant for a wide range of organizations in the public, private, and governmental sector.

Prior to my own practice as consultant I was working for the European office of the State of Wisconsin, Department of Commerce.

My clients describe me as very relational, mindful, tenacious, analytical, as well as international, and highly professional.

The essence of my work is having conversations that invite my clients to understand more deeply what they want to achieve in their companies, the challenges associated with this, and skillful ways to master them.

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.

I like to pay particular attention to the role language plays in creating movement in organizations, therefore enabling my clients to become more proficient in understanding their thinking and expressing precisely what they want to communicate to others.

I have a Master in American Literature, Philosophy and Political Science from the Goethe University in Frankfurt. I also have a professional diploma in Executive Coaching. I am currently pursuing a Master in Executive Coaching at HULT/ Ashridge International Business School.

Art, Psychology, Mindfulness and Neuroscience have for many years been special areas of focus.

I was born in Frankfurt, Germany and I have lived in the US. I currently reside in Frankfurt and work worldwide in English and German.

I consult worldwide on leadership and organization/culture development issues across a multitude of industries, both in the private and public sector.

I have taught mindfulness and leadership at Saïd Business School – University of Oxford, organization change on the Ashridge Masters in Organization Change, and leadership at Management Centre Europe, EFMD and IMD.
