Als preisgekrönte Unternehmerin und Dipl.-Ing. der Luft- und Raumfahrttechnik begleitet sie, auch als Rednerin, seit über drei Jahrzehnten Unternehmer und Führungskräfte durch komplexe Veränderungsprozesse. Genauso ist sie aber auch leidenschaftliche Abenteurerin: Von Köln bis in den Senegal mit einem alten Mercedes, unzählige Expeditionen durch den afrikanischen Busch – diese Erfahrungen haben ihren Blick auf Führung, Entscheidung und das, was wirklich zählt, grundlegend geprägt. Als Gründerin von BusinessArt und Entwicklerin des LIFE Safari® Leadership & Change Programms begleitet sie Unternehmerinnen und Unternehmer dabei, klarer zu werden – in ihrer Strategie, in ihren Entscheidungen und in sich selbst. Ihr Buch „Die Safari-Strategie“ erschien 2026 und schaffte es schon vor Veröffentlichung zum Amazon-Bestseller.
