My work takes place at the intersection of technology, communication, and responsibility. Here is a selection of experiences, projects, formats, and initiatives that demonstrate how this connection works in practice: from strategic communication and innovation consulting to workshops, podcasts, and stage performances.

Strategic communication & conception

Text, Storytelling & Production

Digital strategies, innovation design & implementation

  • Initiation and orchestration of the Female Excellence Award “Ethics of Digitization” in partnership between Deutsche Telekom and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) – Link 1 – Link 2 – Link 3
  • In addition, I have been responsible for countless technology-related implementation projects, such as project management for an eight-person consulting team in the “ European Aviation Network “ (Air-to-Ground Inflight Broadband) implementation project; project management for ideation, prototyping, UX testing, conception, supplier selection, and implementation for mobile digital assistant devices (Android) for a large German retail group; various implementations of mobile search and mobile advertising products in partnerships between Yahoo! Inc. and AT&T, Samsung, LG, and Motorola; as well as partnering services between Deutsche Telekom and Groupon, Jawbone, and SaaS software providers; and many more.

Responsible AI & Leadership Enablement

  • Understanding and Responsibly Using Generative AI : I offer this basic training for the effective and reflective use of generative AI and chatbots. Participants will learn how LLM-based services like ChatGPT or Gemini can be used effectively, critically examined, and safely integrated into everyday work. The focus is on practical exercises, ethical principles, and the conscious handling of AI-generated content.
  • AI in Leadership Practice: Rethinking Leadership : This training is aimed at managers who want to use AI as a sparring partner for reflection, communication, and decision-making. It demonstrates how generative AI is changing the view of leadership: away from tool knowledge and toward attitude, perspective shifts, and effectiveness. The focus is on how AI can help facilitate better conversations and shape more conscious leadership. The format is part of the leadership training program of a major German retailer.

Community Building & Intrapreneurship

  • As co-founder and co-lead of Deutsche Telekom’s Human-Centered Technology Community (2022–2024), I built a company-wide grassroots movement that mobilized over 500 employees around topics such as digital responsibility, tech ethics, and people-centeredness .
  • A unique approach: We combined top-down initiatives in the areas of innovation, corporate responsibility, and compliance with the passion of committed employees within the organization – thus making cultural change tangible and effective.
  • The initiative has given rise to a vibrant platform for exchange, learning, and transformation: with flagship events such as barcamps, dialogue formats, workshops, and discussion series on responsible technology design.
  • To this day, the community contributes to integrating ethical reflection, diversity, and social perspectives into the company’s innovation and decision-making processes.
