headline: Transformation Senior Manager @ Accenture | Bridging Technology & People in complex transformations

about:
Transformation ist ein People Business.

Das habe ich in über 12 Jahren in der Beratung gelernt – und es prägt bis heute, wie ich arbeite.
Als Senior Manager für Change Management und Strategic Communications begleite ich Organisationen durch ihre komplexesten Veränderungen. Von Multi-Cloud-Implementierungen über IT-Restrukturierungen bis hin zu KI-Adoption – meine Aufgabe ist es, technische Komplexität in menschenzentrierte Change-Strategien zu übersetzen.

Meine Überzeugung: Transformation scheitert nicht an der Technologie. Sie scheitert daran, dass Menschen den Sinn nicht sehen. Dass sie nicht mitgenommen werden.
Deshalb baue ich Brücken. Zwischen Strategie und Technologie. Zwischen Vision und Umsetzung. Zwischen Führungskräften und Teams.

Was ich tue:
Ich habe das erste Innovationsteam für Accenture DACH mit aufgebaut. Innovation Spaces etabliert. Projekte und Workshops mit führenden Unternehmen und globalen Organisationen auf Entscheiderlevel geleitet. Heute führen wir das Team von mittlerweile über 80 Menschen immernoch zusammen und ich berate Kunden in großen Transformationsprogrammen – von der Leadership Activation bis zur kulturellen Neuausrichtung.

Als systemische Beraterin und Business Coach verbinde ich strategisches Denken mit echtem Verständnis für organisatorische Dynamiken. Ich kenne die technischen Herausforderungen von IT-Transformationen – aber ich verstehe auch, warum Menschen Widerstand leisten. Und wie man diesen Widerstand in Gestaltungswillen verwandelt.

Lass uns ins Gespräch kommen:
Wenn du über anstehende oder laufenden Transformationen sprechen möchtest und über die ehrlichen Herausforderungen dahinter. Wenn du Führungskräfte entwickeln willst, die Wandel gestalten statt verwalten. Oder wenn du einfach jemanden suchst, der mit dir einen P

The Greeks had a word for Give First more than 3,000 years ago: xenia (ξενία).

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey brings renewed attention to xenia, the ancient Greek tradition of hospitality, generosity, and trust, referred to in the film as “Zeus’ Law.”

A traveler arriving at your door was welcomed with food, shelter, and respect. Generosity came first. Xenia reflected a belief that how we welcom

What if giving first was part of building a company from day one?

Give First is a mindset of generosity, helping others, and creating value through relationships and contribution. As Brad Feld and David Cohen, co-founders of Techstars, have shared (link in comments), it is rooted in supporting others and strengthening the communities around us.

Every enduring innovation ecosystem rests on infrastructure that rarely appears on a balance sheet:

headline: Builds businesses through brand | Commercial growth × consumer insight | President, Grace Creative LA | Prior: Disney, Seabourn, Omnicom, Equip Health | CMO / Growth Leader

about:
I build brands that scale—from Fortune 500s to startups—by connecting strategy, storytelling, and cross-functional execution into momentum that drives real growth.

Over two decades, I've led marketing across travel, hospitality, entertainment, healthcare, and tech. My approach is rooted in full-funnel marketing and integration: connecting the dots across brand, product, sales, pricing, and customer experience so they amplify each other. When done right, 1 + 1 becomes something far greater than 2.

Today, as President of Grace Creative LA, I lead an advertising agency focused on helping brands connect authentically with the largest emerging market hiding in plain sight: people over 50—especially women, who make the decisions, drive the spending, and influence everyone else.

Three things that define how I work:

✺ I'm a connector — finding the throughline between people, ideas, and opportunities and turning them  into something bigger than the sum of their parts.
✺ I'm a problem solver — I dig into the why behind the challenge, read what's unsaid, and find solutions that work for the business and the people driving it.
✺ I'm a builder — of teams, brands, and businesses that last and matter. Great leadership means creating environments where people do their best work and feel invested in the outcome.

I don't believe in standing still. The best ideas come from staying curious, asking better questions, and being willing to evolve.

I'm a Tufts and UCLA Anderson grad, a founding member of CHIEF, a Board Advisor for Screen Sanity, and a Leadership Council member at A Place Called Home. And I'm a proud mom of three teenage daughters who keep me fluent in Gen Z while I help brands connect with the generation footing the bill—their parents.
