She is an expert in team culture & learning experience, a business innovation consultant, and a seasoned facilitator and teacher with over 18 years of experience. 

​

Eva-Maria is a graduate of Germany's most innovative Business school, Alanus University, a certified  Design Thinker at the HPI d.school in Berlin, a BDVT certified business trainer, and a member of Sandbox, a global community for young innovators. 

Having co-build the award-winning health tech company mimi.io as the first employee, led her to understand the importance and possibility of shaping the "Culture DNA" of a team early on. It did also show her the lack of resources and tools for teams to understand how to shape team culture from day one.  

​

The experience of having worked in a variety of different work environments,  having lived and worked in countries such as Australia, Brazil, Bangladesh, Mexico, Germany, India, Peru, Portugal, USA, and her ongoing own research gives her a unique and sharp perspective on understanding power dynamics in teams and being able to put words to the often invisible layer of culture.

Eva-Maria works with clients coming from all around the world and when she doesn’t explore countries herself, she currently lives in Frankfurt.
