Hello!
I’m a changemaker with a passion for social innovation and a knack for strategy. I use that talent to help leaders in the social sector develop impact strategies for social system change.
What makes me a good thought partner? I created many of the tools that Ashoka uses in the area of systems change. I apply the analytical rigor that you would expect from a former McKinsey consultant. And as a co-founder of two social ventures, I know how to keep it real.
My main job is Partner at Ashoka Germany and Lead of the Systems Unit at Ashoka Globalizer. In these roles, I have developed strategies for systems change with dozens of leading social entrepreneurs from around the world. I also publish, give interviews, and speak at international conferences.
I can only do a few side projects every year. That said, if you are serious about tackling the root causes of social problems, get in touch!
