With more than 20 years of professional experience in global players under my belt I gained a wide range of experiences on which I am drawing in my coaching practice, especially:
Successfully managing complexity: During my career I held leadership positions in a local organisation, headquarter functions and a management unit consisting of 8 very heterogeneous countries. Every time the requirements varied a lot, changed constantly and I encountered plenty of challenging situations.
Internationality: Having spent 6 years in 4 countries during my studies and professional assignments has certainly changed my way of looking at the world around me. From personal experience I know how demanding a new start and life as an expatriate can be – especially abroad and with language and cultural barriers.
At home in many cultures: There are more cultures than those of different countries. Not only my communication and mediation skills were expanded greatly by having filled management positions in a large consumer goods company in such varied fields as Sales, Marketing, Finance/ Controlling and IT-projects.
In addition to my professional experience I hold certificates from the largest German associations both as Business Coach and trainer for Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).
