Impact - Best Kept Secrets: Stay ahead of the curve
Entrepreneurs, NGOs, donors/investors all talk about impact.
Yet when it means so many different things. Why is that?
We’ll cover:
- How can impact so many different things? Why does this matter to you?
- What’s the concrete business case for impact?
- How to walk the talk and become an impact-ready organization?
- How do donors & impact investors see and invest in impact?

About me
I help leaders, entrepreneurs, and teams thrive in change.
I am a social entrepreneur with 18+ years of experience turned business designer for purpose-driven business and social enterprises.
I have co-founded 2 social enterprises. The last one Love Matters scaled to 7 countries (India, Mexico, Venezuela, Egypt, Kenya, and China). Our products and services conservatively touched between 10 and 30 million. As part of that journey, I’ve grown our team from 3 to 60+ people globally and raised 3 million.
I’ve learned a lot of lessons - the hard way. I’m happy to share those experiences so that others can make new mistakes along the way.
I specialize in 3 phases: start-up, building (series A, B), and scaling.
I have deep experience in business and organizational strategy, growth (talent, teams, product), and product (translating customer/client/beneficiaries insights).
I look at company challenges from 5 lenses:

About me
Hi there,
I am still working as Head of Unit and Project Manager for Enterprise Europe Network of the EU Commission.
Until January 2021 I will be engaged in some special projects focusing on impact investing and sustainable finance. I am also doing an online certificate course with Frankfurt School as "Certified Expert in Sustainable Finance".
As of February 2021 I will either work with a social institution and/or will be co-founder of an impact driven business idea with some other dedicated women who are likewise disappointed by currently available financing options for female (tech) entrepreneurs and other underestimated groups (:-)) in our society in particular.
I would be happy to connect with others and perhaps explore co-working options throughout the world.
Though I will be moving from Düsseldorf to South-East Bavaria I have the necessary hardware to work remotely with as little unecological travel as possible :-).
