Over more than 20 years I built my expertise in executive coaching as well as  leadership and organisational development. In my practice I focus on working with top executives and their teams as well as developing top talents. Furthermore, I am specialised in facilitating workshops, strategic offsites as well as conflict mediation.

​

The primary goal of my works is to develop concrete solutions for your challenges together with you. Through my extensive experience in coaching and advising top executives I learned that discretion and confidentiality are the crucial factors to create success. 

​​

Based on my long-term experience as organisational psychologist I can support you and your team in organisational transformations and in creating strategic alignment. 

​

Humour, common sense and pragmatism combined with a solid business understanding across industries are the key success factors to develop effective solutions for you. 

 

​My woking languages are English and German.

Professional Experience

I held various global leadership and management roles in the areas of leadership and organisational development in the insurance, financial service and automotive industry. Currently, I am globally responsible for Executive Leadership Development at one of the leading global insurance firms. In addition to that I offer my expertise as a freelancing Executive Coach.

​

I published several articles on Coaching and Leadership Development.
