About

With 12+ years of experience in start-ups across the US and Germany, I bring a unique perspective on internal team dynamics and customer relationship management. My background spans industries such as biotechnology, 3D printing, digital health, and personal wearables, with roles ranging from individual contributor to team leader, scaling teams and customer operations in B2B, B2C, and B2B2C contexts. Combining an engineering and technical communication background with coaching certification and conscious leadership principles, I help companies align customer experience with team well-being, ensuring sustainable growth.

Experience

&joy Coaching
&joy Coaching

Freelance Coach and Teamwork Facilitator As a coach, I work with individuals who are craving security and want to achieve professional impact. You might be scared, lost, nervous, unsure, stuck, hesitant, or hesitant how to proceed with your work. I also support company leaders to create workplaces where employees can thrive and do their best work.

Quantica
Quantica

I was hired as Head of Customer Service but primarily explored and communicated potential uses of Quantica’s new technology before market entry.

Formlabs
Formlabs

Formlabs manufactures 3D printing systems. My role evolved as the company grew 10x. I scaled and managed customer service from 10 to ~30, standardized new product trainings for 30-100 people, and later hired and coached distributed technical writing and localization teams.

Ecovative
Ecovative

Alongside daily marketing and sales work, I advocated for an educational platform, prepared the winning Buckminster Fuller Challenge application, and ultimately secured the first funding and business framework for Ecovative's Grow-It-Yourself platform. I completed my bachelors and masters degrees while remaining an integral team member across many projects.

Expertise

Employee Training and Engagement

I facilitated product and process documentation as well as training for employees I managed, as well as other colleagues, in all my previous roles. Today, my work is centered around being an external training facilitator.

Team Management

I've managed teams from 2 to 30 and would be happy to support you in understanding and overcoming your management challenges. I've also built a course for new managers.

Customer Service and Support

I like to say that the customer isn't always right, but the customer always has a right to be heard. I'm mostly familiar with email-based support in Zendesk, and help center configuration (+ the technical writing), but happy to discuss other challenges and share my experiences.

Voice of the Customer (VoC) Programs

How do you take time to hear the customer, as well as share those sentiments in a way that it will be heard throughout the organization? In my previous roles, I ran monthly and quarterly programs to solicit and advertise customer feedback.
