Nuremberg, Bavaria, Germany
Connecting people is my passion. Building cooperations and partnerships is my talent which I put to work across countries, organizations, disciplines and partners within the United Nations, the German Foreign Service and in the Private Sector for over thirty years. As strategic planner, business analyst and project manager I am results-focused and analytical, with the big picture in mind. As communications specialist I tailor impactful information to specific needs, recipients and situations. As coach and talent manager I find out what motivates people and makes them brilliant - mindfully, empathically and with a good sense of humor. Mediating in difficult situations and facilitating change processes inspires and spurs me.
