Professional career
“I laid the foundations for my professional career with my training as a bank clerk and my degree in economics at the long-distance University of Hagen. My diverse experiences as an authorised signatory, interim manager and managing director of various companies shaped my path. It ultimately led me to my true passion: supporting companies in training and further education.
Since 2007, I have assisted companies as a Corporate Learning Consultant to support their education strategy. I deepened my expertise through my doctorate at the renowned Humboldt University in Berlin in the subject of educational science: Business Education.
My PhD thesis, which I successfully completed in 2017, is entitled: “Certificates as trust substitutes. The emergence of trust in systems and institutions. Which relevance does ISO 9001 have in relation to educational services?”
My wide-ranging, practical knowledge is based on many further training courses, my lecturing activities and frequent publications. As the founder and heart of this company, I bring my expertise and passion to every consultation and every training session to strengthen and develop people in companies.”
