Head of Culture, Inclusion & Diversity

KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft

Since joining KPMG in 1999, I began my career in transaction consulting and have since evolved through a multitude of projects on both national and international levels. As an expert in global corporate cultures, I am committed to continuous innovation and transformative leadership principles.

My Vision: I believe in the power of diversity and inclusion to future-proof organizations. My international experience enables me to provide unique perspectives that foster a culture of integrity and collaboration.

As the Head of Culture, Inclusion & Diversity at KPMG Germany, I am not a proponent of the status quo but stand for shaping and change. I am fascinated by my areas of responsibility including purpose, values, leadership culture, diversity, inclusion, and equity, as well as the enhancement of ethical behavior.

My goal is for us to work together and for each other, rather than in parallel. Everyone on the team carries responsibility—both here and now and with a view to the future. Together, we can create bold and sustainable changes. The values of KPMG serve as clear guideposts and provide orientation in a VUCA world that demands high ambiguity tolerance.

Areas of Expertise:

  • Culture change
  • Leadership culture
  • Inclusion, Diversity, Equity
  • Purpose
  • Corporate values
  • Strengthening ethical conduct
  • PhD, Business Administration, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, 1999

  • Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with my family and creatively designing our shared spaces. My passion for the outdoors often takes me to the mountains.
