About

People enthusiast with a strong background in Recruiting, Talent Management, Change Management, HR Management, Strategic Workforce Planning, People Analytics & Insights, and Transformation. „If you don‘t know people you don‘t know business“ — this Simon Sinek phrase is one of my central mottos. I am enthused to be part of the rise of HR to a strategic business function. I find it very rewarding to design and implement processes and formats that help people and groups of people to become their best possible selves. In the last years I had the opportunity to lead central HR initiatives in mitigating the business impact of the Corona crisis: starting with the implementation of short-time work at Deutsche Lufthansa AG, over leading the redundancy management program „now!“ for Lufthansa ground staff to driving the biggest reorganization in the history of Lufthansa. It‘s in times of crisis where our true selves show. And together with the project team, we managed to have a socially responsible, appreciative HR transformation and downsizing process at eye level with employees and leadership staff that lays the ground for fresh start during crisis recovery. Currently I am involved in rebuilding Lufthansa Group's Strategic Workforce Planning and People Insights muscle. What makes me tick? To - listen and understand people in business based on data - discover and tell stories from people data and - guide future business desicions accordingly.
