About

I’m an international environmental lawyer, leadership coach, and co-founder of FindingSustainia. I serve on the board of the Stuttgart Climate Innovation Fund, where I help shape systemic strategies to support scalable, regenerative solutions. My work brings together climate policy, emotional intelligence, and cyclical leadership to help changemakers and institutions stay effective — especially in the face of long-term complexity and crisis. I call this approach Be the System Shift™ — because systems don’t shift unless the people within them do. Together with my co-founder Dr. Anna Katharina Meyer, I lead programmes that support transformation on both an individual and systemic level. We've worked with Fortune 500 companies, ESSEC Business School, and across the Club of Rome Schools and SchuleWirtschaft network. Whether you’re shaping policy, leading teams, or preparing young people for the work ahead, I help connect personal rhythm with lasting impact.
