About Us

Andrea Montua

Personal Background
As a business graduate with an affinity for journalism, human resources and communication, it quickly became clear that internal communications would offer an ideal opportunity to combine these elements. For more than 20 years, I have had the privilege of supporting people and companies with situations involving everyday communication as well as with change processes. I look forward to providing you with the best possible support from our team.

Added value for the customer
Even during turbulent times, I’m happy to stand by your side and help you maintain an overview and keep you focused on the (communication) issues which are relevant to you. I’m happy to provide you with decades of experience in change processes as well as a great deal of positive thinking.

My motivation
I consider communication to be the DNA of all interpersonal connections, both in a private and professional context. Therefore, my daily incentive is to help companies motivate and encourage their managers and employees in their daily work and in transformation processes. This is the only way that companies can optimally position themselves for the future and maneuver successfully through stormy times.

Ellen Hallenberger

Personal background
Since my work as a division manager for visualization training, I have come to know that dealing with customers, but especially teamwork, gives me great pleasure. My function as an interface and contact person enables me to work in all areas of the company while applying my knowledge of business psychology. At MPC, this knowledge has fallen on fertile ground, so I can support our Managing Director Andrea in her day-to-day work as a professional pioneer and give room to cooperation and partnership at MPC.

Added value for the customer
Imagine employees who use their potential and strengths to add value to your internal development as well as to your external communication. Who identify themselves with your projects, carry their responsibility with self-confidence, constantly develop themselves further and thus actively help to shape your common development. As an assistant to the management, I contribute to the smooth implementation of your project, so you are able to concentrate on your business development with the best possible support.

My motivation
What is special about my work: As a graduated business psychologist, I enjoy testing my theoretical knowledge in practice and facing new challenges. I do this with creativity and the ambition to create a value for everyone involved. That’s why I put special emphasis on providing a space for ideas and change, in which tried and tested concepts offer a solid foundation for new directions. At MPC, I have found the perfect place to constantly develop as part of a large team of experts working closely together. This gives new ideas room, but also the security to be updated in the field.

Added value for the customer
I love to work strategically, conceptually, analytically and in a content-related manner. Looking at topics holistically, developing measures and implementing them successfully is exactly what drives me. The goal should always be to achieve sustainable effectiveness – for both the people and the organisation.

My motivation
Not losing sight of the way we collaborate, communicate, make decisions, speak and think about the organisation is essential. Nothing changes overnight and, most importantly, not by itself. Supporting people is what motivates me.

My motivation
My mission is to bring people together and establish communication channels. I’m motivated to point out the limitations and advantages of these channels and how to sensibly make use of them. Employees who can identify with the company can also fully support it. The goal is the common path of preparing and creating a space in which the employees feel valued and comfortable.

Kristin Aufenvenne

Personal Background
I am a communicator through and through.
Even before my studies, I was able to gain a foothold in this industry during my training as a marketing communications specialist and my work as a media consultant in the field of employer branding. I’m currently in my fifth semester of a Bachelor’s degree in Communication Management at Lingen Campus. During my studies, I am a board member at the student initiative “KommunikOS”. All of this allows me to no longer miss out on current trends in the communications industry and to train my communication muscles every day.

Added value for the customer
Thanks to the practical experience I have gained during my studies, I am able to combine scientific knowledge with practical experience in the best way possible. Due to my empathetic, open and communicative manner, I always keep the target group in mind.

My motivation
I’m inspired by communication in all its facets. I’m motivated not only from working together as a team, but also by knowing that sustainable and diverse changes are possible using communication strategies.

Lisa Georghiou

Personal background
As a graduate in political science, I have always been interested in developments in society as a whole and how they affect certain processes. In my many years of work in communication and change consulting, I have learned to successfully implement challenging transformation projects by always thinking in terms of people and placing them at the centre of all change.

Added value for the customer
I want to help employees and managers gain a positive attitude towards their daily work or towards change. That is how I offer direction in difficult situations, provide support in rethinking old behavioural patterns, in learning new ones, and in becoming enthusiastic about change through conviction and personal commitment. I like to work strategically and conceptually, but I also get involved operationally. In doing so, I am detail-oriented and yet pragmatic – emphatic, but always goal-oriented in the matter at hand.

My motivation
I am convinced that change in any context can only succeed if people understand and internalise the challenges involved. Communication is an essential part of this. I want to support you in ensuring that people understand the challenges and are therefore ready to accept the change.

Maria Gartz

Personal background
As I laterally changed careers into the start-up scene, I gained experience setting up and developing internal communications from a blank slate. My tools of the trade have grown to include growth-support, knowledge management, cultural transformation and organizational development. As a graduate in neuro and cognitive science and a trained vocal coach, my approach is empowering. My portfolio of methods is shaped by science and my curiosity is boundless.

Added value for the customer
My experience working in multinational, highly-dynamic growth environments has made me a perceptive, thoughtful and humorous pragmatist. In addition to having the courage to call a spade a spade and tackle necessary changes, I am also emphatic and have the listening skills necessary to ensure that any measure taken is always suitable for the target group.

My motivation
I’m interested in people: how they think and feel, how they make decisions, and what helps them grow. Learning more and more about this, and then using this knowledge to help other people and organizations – that makes me happy.

I am a certified Scrum master and support teams in their development and finding their roles (not only) in agile teams.

Added value for the customer 
My ability to analyse situations from both a psychological and entrepreneurial point of view allows me to combine strategic goals with human needs. With heartfelt professionalism, I help create understanding for mutual interests and enable good implementation of psychological approaches in day-to-day work.

As a doctor of organisational sociology with more than 15 years of experience in companies in the digital industry, I keep up to date with business developments as well as the needs of the people involved. The question that leads me is: Where do we want to go and what will change as a result of achieving the goal?

Added value for the customer
As a consultant, trainer and coach, I focus on appreciation, because that is where value is created. It’s important to me to develop potential, to work on attitudes and to initiate and shape changes in a practical and pragmatic manner. I support and enable employees to recognise structures and connections more clearly and to think about things from a new and completely different perspective.

My motivation
During change phases, people need clarity and transparency, followed by participation, appreciation, meaningfulness and orientation. Providing this, listening and communicating appreciatively and adding fun to the project with new methods can inspire people towards something new – and that brings me joy.

Added value for the customer
My work is characterised by methodological competence, analytical thinking and structured approaches. With empathy, active listening and new perspectives, I would like to drive forward communications in organisations and companies and assist with developing suitable solutions – always working together on equal footing.

My motivation
When we as consultants leave a location after a joint project where people enjoy working, know the reasons for their everyday work and understand how each individual makes a valuable contribution to the overall structure, that is very fulfilling for me. It motivates me to be able to change something for the better and to see both how the team and the entire company benefits from this in the long term.
