My Philosophy
For me, compassion and values-based leadership aren’t just trends but the core of my work.
I see Human Centered Leadership and Compassion at Work not just as methods but, above all, as inner attitudes.
These are not esoteric concepts or fleeting trends but effective and contemporary leadership approaches that prove their strength in practice.
The scientific background, my personal experiences, and the keys to success are knowledge that I’m happy to share.
Let’s walk the path to authentic and appreciative collaboration together—on an equal footing that delivers real results. For the future requirements of companies and leaders.

I bring a multifaceted mix of practical expertise, innovation, and proven leadership skills from these years.
My extensive experience forms the solid foundation to integrate new, values-based leadership concepts.

Personal
As a true Cologne native, I went to school in the cathedral city, completed my education and studies here, and even got married in the historic town hall. I’ve left my heart in many corners of Germany and the world, but I always find my way back home—although not without regular detours to the Hunsrück!
When I’m not travelling through Europe, you’ll often find me on hiking trails, at the beach, or in the snow.
Hugo, the charming brown standard poodle, is almost always by my side. Only when I’m sailing does he enjoy the dog’s life in the midst of his Cologne pack.
And because laughter is known to be healthy, I, as a true Cologne native, rely on a healthy dose of humor!
