My Bio
My mantra is to bring the right person into the right position at the right time across cultural boundaries. I design, implement, facilitate and measure a variety of solutions for individuals and organizations that encounter challenges in cross-boundary people movements, talent management or career questions. My expertise ranges from coaching in one-on-one conversations to strategic analysis and solution design for organizations to facilitating leadership learning.
Over the last 20 years, I have solved “people-related” challenges in different settings. A short list of companies that I have worked with or for includes Johnson & Johnson, Marriott International, Pfizer, Goldman Sachs, Cap Gemini, Katzenbach Partners and the UN.
I have lived in 7, worked in 25 and visited over 90 countries and operate in four languages: German, English, French and Spanish.
I earned my BA in Applied Economics and Business Administration at WHU Koblenz in Germany; an international MBA from Helsinki School of Economics, Finland; and a MA in Organizational Psychology fromColumbia University, USA.
Work experience in consulting, not-for-profits, financial services and industry provide me with knowledge of various work environments. My often global roles within top Fortune 100 companies include HR generalist, Executive/Leadership Development Expert and Talent Management Lead. A common thread in all these roles is the element of coaching of individuals and teams being the key to success – from the shop floor employee to the Executive suite.
For 10 years, I was a management consultant in both Europe and the Americas focusing on the nexus of strategy and people challenges. I designed and implemented Strategic HR processes and systems, new Talent Management paradigms, organizational effectiveness improvements, executive transitions and onboarding as well as cross-cultural learning processes. Tacit knowledge transfer, TQM and Process Re-design, Talent Retention as well as Change Management are important recurring topics throughout her career that she is happy to transfer to leaders in-house.
Prior to consulting, I held customer relations and operations positions in the chemical and fashion industries.
I complement my different experiences and capabilities with certifications as an ILP Coach and in several relevant instruments such as MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator), LIFO (Life Orientation), and Denison’s Culture and Leadership Development tools. She also has working knowledge of the Strong Interest Inventory, HBDI, Kolb’s Learning Style Inventory, Hogan’s Assessment Systems and the Lominger Learning Agility tools.
