About

As a trainer, consultant and change manager for SaaS applications such as the cloud office Google Workspace (G Suite) and Insightly CRM, I support a multitude of enterprises throughout Europe. Together with my team at the company plus3trainings GmbH, I work as a reliable service provider for technology partners and international companies in all industries. We also provide small and medium-sized companies with personal support on innovation topics such as New Work and collaboration. As a public speaker and consultant for digital self-marketing and reputation management, I additionally offer profile optimisation services as "Die Profiloptimierer". In this role, I help many companies and executives in Germany, Austria and Switzerland to better present their skills and expertise in online networks such as XING and LinkedIn – and to restore a successful balance between analogue and digital.
