About ME
With an academic background in linguistics and educational science, I bring a deep understanding of language, learning processes and human development. Fluent in four languages, I offer a cross-cultural perspective shaped by international leadership experience. Born in Nuremberg and based in Düsseldorf for the past twenty years, I maintain a close personal and professional connection to both French and Japanese culture. My professional path includes several years in the management of a Japanese corporation, which profoundly shaped my understanding of intercultural dynamics and leadership.
For more than a decade, I have been working as a coach and consultant, accompanying people from a wide range of personal and professional backgrounds. I bring extensive experience in working with highly diverse personalities and complex biographies. As a certified coach and mediator, I support executives, academics, and artists in navigating transitions, expanding their perspectives, and unfolding their potential.
My research focuses on intellectual giftedness, with a particular emphasis on high giftedness. In this context, I collaborate closely with IHBV (Instituut Hoogbegaafdheid Volwassenen) and am co-founder of the High Giftedness Expertise Group (HGEG), an international initiative dedicated to deepening the understanding of highly and profoundly gifted adults. As an author, I have published specialist books and coaching materials with Klett-Cotta. A Springer Essential on gifted and highly gifted people in organizations will be published in autumn 2026 in German and English language.
