Most of my professional life I have been working in different HR roles – mostly in multinational companies and different countries. What is catching my interest in these roles is the development of individuals, teams, and the organization as a whole and the changes over time that happen all the time and influence all parts of an organization. I strongly believe it is important to combine both personal development and system development in an integral way. This is what I so far do not see all the time happening or it is separated from each other. 

In addition, one key ingredient I believe is leadership development that focuses on the “inside”. To have an integral view on organization and individuals that is the key for “future” leaders. Though it would be very interesting to start a discussion on leadership in general here – as I by no means mean only formal leadership roles here but would refer to all employees working in an organization who can take up leadership within their own area of responsibility.

I am originally from Aachen, Germany, and studied International Business in the Netherlands. I have also worked for several years in the Netherlands. I always liked the Dutch way of working and the openness in which I could quickly connect to people and the business and establish relationships.

I am currently working within an organization as HR Manager. I enjoy reading, learning, and walking and always being on the edge of my own professional development. I am a certified coach and systemic consultant; living with my family and two kids in Aachen, Germany, close to the Netherlands and Belgium’s to which we like to make excursion during the weekend.
