Transformation. Organisational culture. Leadership.

Transformation. Organisational culture. New Work. Leadership.

I am passionate about supporting transformations and shaping meaningful organisational culture against the backdrop of current megatrends, the VUCA world and the demands of New Work. I have many years of experience in a wide range of sectors, industries and cross-sectoral organisations and stand for partnership-based development. My core competencies are supporting far-reaching change, organisational development, sparring and coaching decision-makers, facilitation, organisational research, large group interventions and leadership development. I am the founder and co-founder of consulting companies and NGOs.
