Meet Your Coach

I work with senior leaders who operate in complex, high-pressure environments and who want to think more clearly, decide more confidently, and lead with presence.

I am a certified Systemic Business and Executive Coach with over twenty years of executive leadership experience in data, technology, communications, and public affairs. As a former CEO and senior executive, I know what it's like to handle responsibility, power dynamics, and tough decisions when the stakes are high.

I support executives, leadership teams, and organizations as they navigate change, build stronger leadership, and maintain performance over time. Clients come to me when they need clarity, face growing complexity, or find that success brings new pressures.

Focus areas

  • Leadership effectiveness and executive presence

  • Communicating effectively and leadership positioning

  • Transforming self-sabotage into self-empowerment

  • Career transitions and senior role expansion

  • Change, growth, and organizational tension

I offer coaching in English or German, either in person or online.

Executive experience that shapes my work

My approach is based on real leadership experience. I have been a CEO and executive leader at international organizations such as Cision and Ubermetrics Technologies, and have held senior roles at Forrester Research, IBM SPSS, and in the German Parliament. Most recently, I co-founded and led a cybersecurity startup, driving innovation in a highly regulated field.

This background lets me work with leaders as a peer and thinking partner, with a clear understanding of the pressures, uncertainties, and consequences.

Coach training, accreditation, and professional standards

Alongside my executive background, I have invested deeply in formal coach training and professional accreditation.

I am accredited as a Senior Coach Practitioner with EMCC Global and am a member of the International Coaching Federation.
