My Focus

People, Culture
& Employee Experience

Companies need structures that not only attract talent but also develop it in a meaningful way. An organization should not just adapt to change – it should actively shape it.
That’s where I come in!

With over 25 years of experience in HR, a degree in International Business Administration, and an academic qualification in Organizational and Talent Development as well as Coaching, I combine strategic expertise with hands-on implementation. My focus is on sustainably developing organizations and their structures:

through in-depth knowledge
tailored concepts
hands-on mentality
From The First Impulse To Full Implementation

I Guide Companies
Through Change And Transformation

strategically
operationally
hands-on

To allow companies to focus entirely on their core business, I take over the strategic and operational development of their HR topics. Together, we create a scalable and future-ready organization where employees can reach their full potential.

Long-term success is not just about change – it's also about avoiding common mistakes. With a clear focus on what truly matters, I optimize processes, identify pitfalls in HR management, and ensure well-informed decision-making.

What VF Consulting Stands For

People First

Successful companies are built by strong teams. That’s why my work focuses on people – their strengths, potential, and development opportunities.

Whether it’s building scalable HR structures, developing leadership skills, or shaping a sustainable company culture, my focus is on driving real change and ensuring long-term success.

Change With Clarity & Structure

Growth brings change. I provide guidance through transformation processes and create structures that offer both stability and opportunities for development.

Building Future-Proof Organizations

HR is more than just processes and policies – it’s about creating an environment where people thrive and businesses achieve long-term success.

Trust & Collaboration At Eye Level

Whether startups, scaleups, or SMEs – I work in close partnership with my clients. Openness, honesty, and trust are the foundation of every successful collaboration.
