I have dedicated my life to empowering people and creating the future.
An entrepreneurship "activist" I have a dozen "jobs" on my journey to support entrepreneurs and the global entrepreneurial eco-system as I am convinced that the entrepreneurial mindset & entrepreneurs are key for saving our world and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
I believe that making a positive difference is a fundamental human right.
Important to note as balancing family with a thriving business is still a challenge for so many women across the world: I am happily married with my first love and proud mom of two amazing young adults. My family is my stronghold.
Life is about human connections and long-term relationships...

Let us play together because we have work to do. What triggers me is entering new realities and expanding our consciousness.
I am a systemic thinking entrepreneur and boundary crosser. As a social artist and professional hippie I provoke transformations that can turn organizations and traditional structures into joyful places full of life and sharing.
Over the years, I have been developing a deep understanding of Game Design Thinking and participatory processes. My strengths and talents flourish in self-organized processes and fluid networks when matched with a well-structured and flexible working environment.
My vision is to live in harmony with nature and in community.
