Specialised knowledge

In line with my core topics, I have always been interested in how to support people and organisations in their development in such a way that it really works. I have aligned my personal development with this.

  • Studied psychology at the Ruhr University Bochum
  • Training as a systemic counsellor at ISB-Wiesloch
  • Training as a Process Engineer at IMC AG
  • Change Management Training Klaus Doppler Institute
  • Agile Coach (brainbirds) and Scrum Master (PSMI)
  • Licensed for: Hogan Personality Inventory, OPQ, Verify, Management Scenarios, DISG, PDI Profilor, Insights Discovery, MBTI, Manager Ready

My superpower

I can translate systemic theory into the practical design of transformation processes. In doing so, I combine the methodology of classic management consulting with a deep understanding of the successful systemic design of change processes.
