Most transformations don't fail on strategy or technology. They fall short when people aren't involved, don't understand it, and ultimately don't trust it.
In today's world of constant transformation, success requires new forms of leadership and collaboration, new approaches to change, and a culture that brings people with it, not just along for the ride.
That's where I come in. I work where consulting and coaching meet – bringing strategic perspective, real operational experience, and grounded coaching to people driving real change.
And since I know this work is an investment, it needs to show – in clear social and commercial value for your organisation.
Three ways, each for a different moment.
1:1 coaching for founders and tech leaders — a confidential space for the thinking that matters most. Three areas I focus on:
From product to market — navigating pressures, critical decisions and the complexity of scaling.
From mentoring with the EIC Women's Leadership Programme and Female Founders, and my own experience, I know how competitive and lonely tech can be for a woman. That's why I love partnering with female leaders to lead with clarity, impact and resilience, true to their values.
Whether it's a promotion, a reorganisation, or a sense that what you do no longer feels right — I support you in redefining your role, growing into the next one, and moving through change with intention.
Clarity · Resilience · Confident decisions
Facilitation, workshops and team sessions — from team dynamics and hybrid working to values, purpose and strategy activation. Sessions are designed with you and moderated end to end, so teams stay cohesive as the landscape shifts.
Workshops I've facilitatedCo-creating and facilitating workshops that make a company's vision, mission and values explicit, building a shared picture of where the team is heading.
Turning direction into concrete priorities the team owns.
Strengthening trust, dynamics and ways of working together.
Shared direction · Increased engagement & motivation · Clarity
Transformation often fails when people feel change is happening to them, not with them. Through workshops, facilitation and hands-on advisory, I help teams and organisations co-create the culture, trust and ownership that make transformation possible.

Adoption · Ownership · Change that sticks
Whatever the situation that needs to change, the work is the same — thinking with people, not handing them answers.
One leader, a team, or a whole organisation — I co-create the reflective space with clients, where clarity, ownership and better decisions come from people themselves.

Transformation I've understood, led, and lived.
Hallo, ich bin Elisabeth! Ich lebe in Wien und arbeite als ICF-zertifizierte Leadership-Coachin und Organisationsberaterin mit Fokus auf digitale Transformation. Meine Praxis stützt sich auf 14+ Jahren internationaler Führungserfahrung in Marketing, Brand und Growth in Konzernen und Startups und auf einen MSc in People & Organisational Development der University of Sussex (UK).
Heute begleite ich die digitale Kulturtransformation im Wiener öffentlichen Sektor. Daneben coache und mentore ich Gründer*innen, Führungskräfte und Teams – unter anderem im Rahmen des Women's Leadership Programme des European Innovation Council, Female Founders und dem Innovation Incubation Center der TU Wien.
The truth is, I didn't get here on my own. I've been lucky enough to have had great leaders, coaches and mentors who accompanied me on my journey. More and more, I realised I want to become that person for others, which is why coaching, mentoring and digital transformation are at the heart of my practice today.
Ich kenne persönliche Transformation auch first-hand – die Unsicherheit beim Verlassen einer Corporate Karriere, den Verlust vertrauter Strukturen und die Angst vor dem Unbekannten. Aber auch die Freude, das Wachstum und das schöne Gefühl, zu sich selbst zu finden. Diese gelebte Erfahrung bringe ich in meine Arbeit mit.
And so, the mix is the point: strategic perspective, hands-on delivery experience, and a grounded coaching craft, all combined in one partner.
