About me
My background as a leader across various industries has equipped me with firsthand experience in driving growth, managing transformations, and leading teams. More than 20 years experience inform my practical and results-oriented approach to coaching.
I'm a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC), a certification accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). The 12-month program by Co-Active Training Institute is one of the most highly respected certifications in the coaching industry. It includes 100+ hours of coaching clients in 6 months of intense training and supervision.
Executive coaching has been important in my life since a pivotal career transition 15 years ago - as I moved from individual contributor to managing managers and a fairly large team. My coach back then was instrumental in my learning and transformation, inspiring me to become a coach myself over 10 years ago.
In 2019, I began my Co-Active journey and have since become passionate about supporting leaders in making an extraordinary impact on people, teams and organisations. By asking thought-provoking questions, challenging the status quo and incorporating intuition and humour to enable new perspectives.
Career and Leadership Experience
Philips
Following senior roles in product marketing and key account management at Philips in Hamburg and a Lean Six Sigma consulting project in Amsterdam, I led the Austrian operation of Philips Consumer Lifestyle in Vienna as a Country Director. In this general management role, I had the opportunity to lead teams through the integration of an acquired company as well as a major re-organization.
Within the eight years at Google I first helped develop the footprint of Google Austria as a member of the leadership team, growing the local team and business successfully. After that position, I went on to support building the Hardware and Services business for Google as Head of Marketing D-A-CH, leading a team of senior product marketing managers.
As a Managing Directer Germany at Pinterest, I have been leading operations to scale Pinterest's advertising business and deliver outstanding value to clients, agencies and partners across the region. Reporting to the VP Europe, I managed a 50+ team of direct partnerships and sales managers in multiple locations and indirect reports across various functions.
