About me

I had an exciting and, all things considered, a successful career over the past 35 plus years. In corporations as a senior marketing and communications professional and then becoming a leadership and executive coach.  After a few turbulent years in an industry that was shaken by mergers & acquisitions, restructurings & downsizings, I departed the corporate world to start my own business.
I turned into a multiple entrepreneur: starting off with a Public Relations and Marketing Communications Business, to – most recently – as the founder of “I4I” (Influence4impact.com), an online community for coaches and service providers – that started out with 84 coaches from the start.
Overall, I have many years of experience in management, communications, public relations, sales training, and marketing. I’ve had the pleasure and to honor to support very senior executives and I’ve worked in the industries of IT, Medical Technology, Telecoms, and not-for-profit NGOs. I have served on the Board of Directors for organizations, NGOs and committees.. As of 2015, I sbusineet up business as an active coach, also serving as an instructor and manager of coaches in the personal development and training market.

If you are looking for a coach that has experience working within corporations that have a global workforce and thus, multicultural management, dispersed teams, culturally diverse customers and stakeholders, then we should have a chat! I learned hands-on about the complex operations and the challenges global leaders face when working in an international environment and you can expect me to come up to speed quite quickly.
In the 50+ different countries to which my work has taken me, I have learned a lot; about how the people and cultures make for a successfully running business; especially recognizing that the sum of the parts is where the hidden magic for all success lies.

I’ve had the pleasure to have spoken at universities and businesses from Las Vegas to New Delhi,  from Munich to Berlin.

My experience working as an Executive Coach and in leadership development is strongly focused on helping organizational leaders develop their collaboration skills – through communication and leadership-coaching skills;  those skills that contemporary businesses in the 21st century are striving to implement.

In my personal life, I love to spend time in nature and you may happen to reach me on the weekends as I am hiking the mountains and hills around my neighborhood here in the southern Bavaria Alps.
