I am a dedicated leadership and organizational coach with extensive experience of leading and taking part in agile transformations within large organizations, coaching of leaders, supporting learning and helping people and teams to grow.
I believe successful companies are the ones keeping both business and people perspectives in mind, in order to be and stay competitive in today’s fast paced environment. To support that, I help leaders, organisations and teams – through advising, workshops, education & coaching – to focus on their customers, secure prerequisites for developing a learning organization and create a culture that continuously improves their products and services and the way they work.
