She is setting the trend for digital enlightenment, a new vision of leadership and management in times of digital transformation.

As executive consultant and coach, she is supporting managers in mastering the challenges of digitalization, designing agile organizations and embracing continuous change.

Organizations themselves are changing dramatically, getting flatter and more transparent on every level. Clients are empowered to change whole value chains. Knowledge workers of any generations ask for transparent feedback. People want jobs with purpose and meaning. Authenticity, transparency, trust and values build the foundation of the future leadership.

Describing herself as digital baby boomer, she is working already nearly 20 years as digital nomad: living and working in the Caribbean, USA and in Munich without an impressive executive office. Working with her laptop, tablet and smartphone, she is actively promoting agile and virtual management in the workplace. Convincing managers to set an example within their organizations by putting values into practice. High Performance, the pursuit of excellence is her driving force, knowing the ups and downs of life and personal success.
