Motivation

I think sustainable entrepreneurship is the most important incubator for implementing meaningful ideas that are essential for positive social and environmental change. Building on my professional background as a psychologist and my experience in the consulting industry, I am committed to empowering entrepreneurs to make their businesses resilient and sustainably successful.

I am particularly interested in the following topics:

Resilience in Entrepreneurship
Causes and effects of the ability to recover from setbacks; spillover effects of resilience on organizations

Sustainable Entrepreneurship
Sustainable start-ups; challenges and successful coping in sustainable entrepreneurship; storytelling by sustainable entrepreneurs; passion in pursuing sustainable goals

Workplace Culture
A culture of error that promotes learning from mistakes and ‘failing forward’; leadership that focuses on and promotes mental health; the role of networks

Openness to New Technologies
Effective use of (Gen) AI-based technologies; breaking down (mental) barriers to the introduction of new technologies
