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.

Marlisa Christ

Personal background
I’m passionate about people – both in my private as well as in my professional life. I initially made my client’s eyes light up at inspirational events. Since 2014, I’ve been expanding the change spectrum and have been advising organisations on how to effectively transform themselves – with a structured approach which enables the people in the organisations to live the change.

Added value for the customer
Change requires a structured approach with strong leadership, the right instincts and innovative ideas – that’s exactly what I offer. I seize the moment in order to make it individually tailored for the client within the framework of their vision. During the process, I think beyond the horizon and utilise interdisciplinary contexts.

My motivation
People shape tomorrow’s organisations and only those who can take them on an interestingly-designed change journey can guarantee sustainable transformation success. This is exactly what I would like to create for my clients – effective change with passion.

Peter Wolf Holzinger, Cooperation Partner

Personal background
Almost 25 years of experience in traditional management consulting in the areas of strategy and corporate planning, restructuring, commercial management and organisational development. 5 years as managing director in a medium-sized company with an international focus. Then several coaching courses to become a systemic coach in management and rounded off by full training as a rational-emotive behavioural therapist.

Added value for the customer
Thanks to the unique combination of sound consulting experience from client projects on strategic and organisational topics, corporate planning and management as well as practical experience in active corporate management, I can credibly take on different perspectives. My experience in coaching executives is useful in being able to cover the human side as well as the business aspects.

My motivation
I am enthusiastic about optimising and transforming what already exists. Not least because of my personal development, I am motivated to accompany change and inspire other people. The cycles of disruption, optimisation and transformation fascinate me and I enjoy accompanying and supporting these processes for my clients.

Alexandra Bufe, Cooperation Partner

Personal background
I am passionate about the reputation of companies and their credible and sustainable dialogue with all stakeholders. 30 years of professional experience have taken me to all areas of corporate communications, from start-ups to international corporations, from industry to insurance. I was head of corporate communications and investor relations at Knorr-Bremse AG and Pfleiderer AG, responsible for media relations at the ERGO Group (Munich Re Group) and represented financial communications as press officer at ThyssenKrupp AG.

Added value for the customer
I support companies in overcoming challenging situations that could jeopardise the company’s image or reputation. Whether it’s a downsizing programme, a restructuring project or a change of management, whether it’s C-level consulting, coaching for communication managers or current crisis communication – I develop tailor-made communication strategies that are aligned with individual corporate goals.

My motivation
I am always interested in the story behind the obvious. Anyone who says that figures are boring has never experienced the creative process of producing annual financial statements. I firmly believe that good communication can make a difference. In anything and everything.

Alina Schlagwein

Personal Background
Internal communication is my passion: I already realised during my bachelor’s degree in media management and journalism that I wanted to reach people where they spend most of their day. During my subsequent positions in agencies, federal authorities, banks and SMEs, I gained a good insight into the challenges of different organisational forms and how transformation and change can be shaped constructively – always with the human aspect in mind.

Added value for the customer
Systemic, strategic and pragmatic – that’s the approach I bring to all my projects. I quickly recognise patterns in the big picture and can quickly translate the findings back into concrete measures and formats. This is how I combine levels for a stringent transformation that can inspire and provide orientation.

My motivation
I am motivated by the people who keep the organisations running in all areas. Keeping them optimally informed, networked and motivated in their day-to-day work is what drives me. Because these networks unleash incredible forces that change many small worlds.

It is my passion to inspire and motivate people even in challenging phases of change. With my additional MBA degree, I ensure the perfect balance between efficiency and human interaction.

Added value for the customer
With my open and appreciative, yet direct manner, I create an atmosphere of honest dialogue and effective collaboration. I bring lightness to complex projects and win people over through clarity, empathy and professionalism. My approach makes it possible to make rapid progress even in difficult situations and to win those involved over to common goals.

My motivation
I love getting to know different corporate contexts and broadening my perspective together with clients. I also firmly believe in the potential of individuals and their organisations and am particularly happy when I can help to develop this potential.

The economy and our environment are becoming increasingly dynamic. Organizations and managers can only be successful when changes are managed proactively. This is what I’d like to support them with.

Anton Fedder

Personal Background
After studying journalism and corporate communications and training as a media designer, I quickly realised that the interface between technological innovation and effective communication was my professional field. Since joining MontuaPartner Communications, I have had the opportunity to design and optimise communication and transformation processes on a daily basis.

Added value for the customer
I am your partner when it comes to integrating the latest technologies, such as artificial intelligence, into your communication strategies. This modern approach makes it possible to effectively support change processes and future-proof your company’s communications. My work is characterised by healthy pragmatism, a clear view of the objective and efficient collaboration at eye level.

My motivation
I am passionate about communication that connects. Facts with emotions on the one hand, and people with people on the other. For me, connecting communication is at the heart of any change. I see helping companies to inspire and motivate their teams through clear and innovative strategies as my daily challenge and motivation. I see AI as a catalyst for connecting communication – provided it is used effectively.

Brigitte Deussen, Cooperation Partner

Personal background
As a cultural scientist, I studied media and communication sciences, fine arts and business administration. I learnt about the design and effective use of media as a trainee journalist, editor and press officer at the pay-TV channel Premiere. I later qualified as an advertising manager at Hubert Burda Media, where I analysed, designed and implemented cross-media brand experiences. Twenty years ago, I founded a communications agency, trained in change management and communication techniques (including NLP) and increasingly focussed on strategic consulting in change communication. Today, I am passionate about applying my extensive knowledge to MPC client projects.

Added value for the customer
My passion as a communications expert is to support, guide and empower people through the complex challenges of transformation. I work in a focussed, decisive and responsible manner to ensure that project goals are met. Empathy and appreciation are important to me so that the customer quickly feels comfortable and understood by me.

My motivation
Communication is the key to success – and is often neglected, especially in change processes. It motivates me every day to do my bit to improve internal communication in companies. When I can set levers here that have an impact, it fills me with satisfaction.

Beate Koeppe, Cooperation Partner

Personal background
I’ve been a freelance organizational consultant and coach since 2009. I have many years of management experience in the areas of personnel and organizational development. This includes working in an international corporate environment, training in systemic-process consulting and organizational set-up. I’m also a certified business coach and a fully-qualified lawyer. My skills lie in the areas of change management, organizational and team development as well as management coaching.

Added value for the customer
For the last two years, I’ve been successfully supporting organizational and individual changes – and people are always the focus of my work. Using my expertise, I help to solve complex challenges, establish orientation, devise change processes and bring people together.

My motivation
“Move people, shape changes” is my incentive and passion. I’m motivated when I can offer people or organizational units an orientation during their change processes or make an image of the future “tangible” so that they desire to more towards it.

Christiane Capps

Personal background
As a graduate in communication management, I have been responsible for external communications for both agencies and companies for over 20 years. At MPC, I’m looking forward to being able to combine my expertise for external communications with my passion for internal communications.

Added value for the customer
My expertise is in formulating and communicating content, claims, messages, elevator pitches and everything else one needs in order to convey exactly what they’d like their counterpart to know.

My motivation
I’d like to contribute to creating a good and appreciative cooperation, in which respect and trust are self-evident, in which one likes to be and can fully develop. Consequently, I hope that companies will become more sustainable, healthier, more attractive and resilient, and that they will be empowered to better assume their responsibilities.

Corinna Kielwein, Cooperation Partner

Personal background
As a graduate psychologist with a focus on industrial and organisational psychology, I have worked both in human resources and in corporate communications. I have many years of experience on the corporate side and as a consultant, both in Germany and internationally. In addition to my practical experience, I completed the “Advanced HR Management” degree programme at the University of St. Gallen (Switzerland) while working. I am a certified systemic organisational consultant (WIBK) and a certified change manager (Prosci®).

Added value for the customer
I approach my clients’ change processes with sensitivity and initiate a joint learning process through dialogue. In doing so, I keep an eye on the different needs of employees and managers as well as the organisation as a whole. With the aim of activating and anchoring change, I accompany my clients in a solution-oriented and holistic way. I look both in depth and ahead, with the conviction that there is always a suitable solution.

My motivation
Through my many personal experiences in private and professional contexts, I was able to learn how to master change well. I would like to convey and pass on this trust in my own change abilities to my clients. In doing so, I seek for my clients that all those involved can follow the path of change consistently, but at the same time with less heaviness – in a more light-footed way. I am convinced that change communication which is thought through at an early stage can build the critical bridges here.

Dörthe Hiddemann, Cooperation Partner

Personal background
I studied Slavic and media studies in Marburg, Moscow and Krakow and then worked in a renowned communications agency for several years – with a focus on change communication. For the last 10 years, I’ve been working as a consulting editor for different agencies and companies. I conceive and write for all (internal) corporate communication channels and support change processes with my pen.

Added value for the customer
At MPC, I combine my editorial experience and my expertise in change processes. I take great pleasure in conveying complex issues in an understandable and appealing way. I like to use the power of language and stories for motivation and cooperation in organizations, especially during change processes.

Felix Gasteyer

Personal Background
With my Master’s degree in Communication Management and my experience in internal communication and communication consulting, I support organizations in strategic communication issues. I am particularly fascinated by the intersection between internal communication and change management.

Added value for the customer
Thanks to my theoretical knowledge and my interest in new technologies and tools, I offer a fresh perspective on existing processes. In my work, I always strive to see the big picture and thus make a valuable contribution to effective processes.

My motivation
I am motivated by the power of change and the opportunities that arise from collaborative work. I am convinced that my work contributes significantly to sustainable and long-term success.

Gina-Marie Zeller

Personal Background
I am currently in the 4th semester of my Master’s programme in Business Administration at the BSP in Hamburg. In my Bachelor’s degree, I studied Business Administration at the THSW in Würzburg, with a focus on organisational development. I decided to specialise in this area during my bachelor’s degree because I am fascinated by the interaction between people, processes and change. I was able to gain valuable insights during internships in the areas of restructuring, IT strategy and business development in supply chain management. I am particularly interested in understanding people and comprehending their actions, as I believe this is the key to successful change processes.

Added value for the customer
As a working student at MPC, I provide support with a fresh perspective and a quick grasp of things. My interest in understanding people and their behaviour allows me to look at change processes from different angles. I would like to support the development of new strategies with a focus on people’s needs. Despite my limited experience in change management, I am communicative and eager to learn.

My motivation
My desire is to encourage people to think differently, motivate them and get the best out of them.
I’m really looking forward to deepening my knowledge and interest in the field, learning lots of new things and developing myself further.

Hendrik Wieduwilt, Cooperation Partner

Personal background
I advise companies, associations and decision-makers on strategic communication issues. This also includes preparing for public appearances. I write the column “Wieduwilts Woche” for ntv about politicians’ appearances.
Before becoming self-employed, I was a correspondent for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and press spokesperson for the Federal Ministry of Justice. I am a fully qualified lawyer.

Added value for the customer
My consultancy follows an integrated approach: I take a holistic approach to strategy, message and appearance through to the visual effect. As I still occasionally appear on camera as a commentator on political issues, I can guide clients through political debates and prepare them for media contact.

My motivation
When communication fails, it’s always a small tragedy: someone has something important to say, but it simply doesn’t reach the recipient. I am happy when I can prevent such tragedies.

Jakob Haves, Cooperation Partner

Personal background
I am an organisational consultant with a focus on strategy development and change processes. After studying political and social sciences with a focus on ‘Global Economic Governance’, I supported organisations in a corporate and political consultancy on transformations and issues relating to the future of work. I later took on management functions in an international mechanical engineering group – from setting up group-wide innovation management and coordinating co-determination work to strategy and business development in after sales. Today, I combine this experience with an organisational sociological perspective on organisations in transition.

Added value for the customer
I work with an organisational sociological perspective that helps to understand the actions of organisations from their own logic. This makes it possible not only to plan changes, but also to design them in such a way that they are compatible with structures, decision-making processes and informal dynamics. Together with my clients, I develop strategies and interventions that create orientation, make contradictions productive and open up space for genuine organisational learning.

My motivation
I am driven by the question of how organisations remain capable of acting in a complex world – and what it takes for people to be effective in them. I find it exciting to make different perspectives visible, to endure tensions and to create new opportunities from them. For me, good counselling means providing orientation – without providing simple answers.

Janine Krönung, Management Consultant

Personal background
As a communications scientist and MBA graduate, I can look back on 20 years of experience in international companies. Whether in the financial sector such as ING or in industry at AkzoNobel, I have been able to focus on strategic change, change and crisis communication in various management positions. I advise CxOs and communications departments on topics such as purpose, value development and corporate culture. In addition, the successful positioning of companies in the areas of sustainability and (employer) branding are among my core competences, always with the aim of optimally positioning companies strategically and communicatively.

Added value for the customer
My primary goal is to help communications teams realise their full potential, work more efficiently and create real value. With a focus on organisational development, change management and leadership advice, I help teams drive meaningful change, generate new energy and achieve outstanding results.

My motivation
I am convinced that good communication connects people and inspires them. I am passionate about creating communication solutions together that not only work, but also touch people. My motivation is to support organisations in successfully shaping change in the long term.

Jens Kellersmann, Cooperation Partner

Personal background
Experienced communications strategist with a journalistic background and many years of management experience in agencies and companies. Management of teams and communications departments in various industries – nationally and internationally. Focus areas: Development of integrated communication strategies, especially in transformation phases, and positioning of C-level executives. Sound expertise in managing complex projects and in strategic media relations.

Added value for the customer
I take a strategic and holistic approach to communication – and develop customised solutions for every task. Where it makes sense, I combine internal and external communication. Where necessary, I create structures and processes that work. My entrepreneurial understanding and an eye for what is feasible are the basis of my aspiration: to make communication clearer, more effective and better.

My motivation
Communication is not a ‘nice-to-have’, but can be the ‘game changer’. Good ideas still fail far too often due to poor communication. I am driven by the conviction that there is a better way – and that clever, targeted communication makes the difference: for ideas, for products, for companies.

Juliane Schmidt, Cooperation Partner

Personal background
Studied German, psychology and education. Now has over 11 years of experience working in communication departments with clients such as Deutsche Bahn, Popsugar/Shopstyle, Vattenfall and Isuzu. Cofounder of the freelance association “Creatives Berlin”.

Added value for the customer
My generalist approach, passion and creativity characterize my work. Due to extensive experience with clients, I can quickly adapt to my customer’s needs. I like to create a cohesion which lasts and is strengthened during both good and difficult times – to create something new together.

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.

Kai Pika, Cooperation Partner

Personal background
I studied economics and now enjoy working as a freelance consultant and systemic supervisor & coach. As a former HR manager and director in the fields of transformation and change, I bring over 21 years of international management experience to the table.

Added value for the customer
My diverse skills as an experienced manager, as an agile enterprise coach along with my experience as a laughter-yoga instructor distinguish me as a compelling supporter of people-centred change. “Just when the caterpillar thought the world would end, it became a butterfly.” Change is a valuable constant in our lives and my passion is to accompany you on the journey.

My motivation
Helping to stimulate beneficial changes in perspective in order to find satisfying working conditions for an individual/team is a key focus of my work. Mental health and mindfulness as pillars of New Work shape my focus.

Katharina Apfel, Cooperation Partner

Personal background
Since graduating in business administration, I have accompanied organisations through change in various roles, industries and company sizes. Whether as a consultant, project manager, business process manager or business unit owner, I have always been where strategy meets implementation. My focus is on understanding complex requirements, translating them into clear structures and taking effective action together with teams. To make my work even more profound and effective, I have trained as a systemic organisational consultant and certified coach (QRC).

Added value for the customer
With me, you can bring fresh impetus, new perspectives and tried-and-tested methods to your organisation. I bring structure, energy and clarity to your projects so that changes are not only planned, but actually realised and supported by everyone. Together we will activate your teams, unleash hidden potential and turn challenges into real opportunities for growth and sustainability.

My motivation
I am convinced that every company already has a lot of what it needs for real change. My motivation is to make this visible. With an open mind, honest curiosity and the desire to get things moving together.

Kerstin Ohrndorf, Cooperation Partner

Personal background
‘You can’t not communicate’ – this is probably one of those well-known statements that everyone has heard at some point. Nevertheless, I am a big fan of the phrase because there is so much truth in it and it is particularly important when it comes to communication from and within organisations.

In my 20 years of experience in internal and external corporate communications, but also in my role as a business coach and trainer, I like to refer to it often.

I am currently working on my doctorate at the University of Koblenz on the topic: ‘The function of informal communication in transformation processes, taking into account decentralised working methods’. – In other words: how can closeness and trust be created when there is no more chatting in the coffee kitchen?

Added value for the customer
I have been at home in the vast field of communication for around 20 years and have extensive expertise in the areas of leadership communication, strategic organisational development and change management.

I support managers, employees and organisations in adapting effectively to new work cultures and promote their self-competence through training and coaching.

My motivation
My mission is to accompany and advise organisations and individuals as a sparring partner through times of change. My focus is on clear and effective communication that strengthens the core of human relationships and leads to sustainable change in organisations.

Kristin Aufenvenne

Personal Background
I am a communicator through and through.
As a marketing communications specialist with extensive experience as a media consultant in the field of employer branding, I have a deep understanding of effective communication strategies. My bachelor’s degree in communications management expands the foundation of my expertise, especially in internal communications.

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.

Laura Dahm, Cooperation Partner

Personal Background
With my training as a systemic organisational consultant at artop and further training in ‘Agility & Organisation’ at swf, I am building on my sociology studies and have been combining the systemic view with my more than 20 years of experience as a consultant and brand/communication strategist since 2019. I have been advising corporations and SMEs as an independent consultant and in interim positions since 2010.

Added value for the customer
With my outside perspective, I ask the right questions, feel my way into the client’s system and use my gut feeling and common sense to gain an impression of the organisation and its specific challenges. Analytically curious, strategically planning, conceptually strong and full of ideas, I support clients in all aspects of strategy, communication and organisation.

My motivation
I am curious about communication and patterns in organisations. Reflecting on these and using them to develop areas for optimisation and learning that make work and collaboration noticeably better for everyone, both in human and economic terms – that’s what I strive for.

Marlisa Christ

Personal background
I’m passionate about people – both in my private as well as in my professional life. I initially made my client’s eyes light up at inspirational events. Since 2014, I’ve been expanding the change spectrum and have been advising organisations on how to effectively transform themselves – with a structured approach which enables the people in the organisations to live the change.

Added value for the customer
Change requires a structured approach with strong leadership, the right instincts and innovative ideas – that’s exactly what I offer. I seize the moment in order to make it individually tailored for the client within the framework of their vision. During the process, I think beyond the horizon and utilise interdisciplinary contexts.

My motivation
People shape tomorrow’s organisations and only those who can take them on an interestingly-designed change journey can guarantee sustainable transformation success. This is exactly what I would like to create for my clients – effective change with passion.

Dr. Martina Wendelken, Cooperation Partner

Personal background
A degree in business administration, a doctorate in procurement logistics in collaboration with the Bundeswehr University and Mercedes Benz, my subsequent professional experience as a marketing manager, personnel developer and communications expert were just the beginning of a long series of training and further education courses. In addition to a degree in communication psychology and training as a business and systemic coach and resilience trainer, among other things, certifications in various diagnostic tools for analyzing personality and leadership behavior complete my toolbox. I support companies (and therefore people) in change processes, cultural and team development and am a trainer for people in management positions.

Added value for the customer
I support people and companies in their further development with a great deal of openness, honesty, trust and appreciation. Helping people to get the best out of themselves is what drives me. And as a pragmatist, I always have my eye firmly on the goal in this “guided inward look”! There are three sides to everything: one that you see, one that I see and one that we discover together.

My motivation
‘”Setting sail correctly” – Aristotle already used this approach to achieve goals more effectively. I love to bring people into their power and thus create development opportunities that benefit both the individual and, of course, the respective teams, departments and companies. Analyzing and developing goals from this is my passion! “We can’t determine the direction of the wind, but we can set the sails correctly.”

Mey El-Hossini, Cooperation Partner

Personal background
As an experienced senior specialist for internal and change communication, I have been developing tailor-made communication strategies for my clients and supporting their implementation for 15 years. My career path has taken me from live communication (B2B and B2C) to two large financial service providers, a software company and a communications consultancy, and finally to self-employment. As a trained event manager, I studied social psychology and anthropology as well as philosophy.

Added value for the customer
I am passionate about developing communication strategies and concepts that meet the individual needs and goals of each company. It is important to me to reach the people who are connected to the company, both employees and external target groups. Having worked on both sides – agency and company – I understand both sides. I provide authentic, constructively critical, pragmatic and solution-oriented support for all challenges.

My motivation
Communication changes, and is a decisive basis for how we think and act. I am delighted when we can make a difference together with good communication and offer added value to the company and the people. I also firmly believe in agile corporate communication, and empower communicators to optimize their communication work.

Nils Neumann, Cooperation Partner

Personal background
I am a communications expert and have specialised in change communication for 15 years. During this time, I have supported, helped shape and taken responsibility for change communication in many national and international change projects as a consultant. Through clarity to acceptance, mobilisation and sovereignty of interpretation – this is what I like to advocate time and again.

Added value for the customer
It’s all in the mix: the consulting and planning experience gained from many projects, a positive attitude, the ability to present complex content in an understandable and target group-orientated way and fresh ideas – this ensures results with the necessary depth and ease.

My motivation
When I have done my job well and what motivates me? When people in companies and organisations don’t come to work on Monday morning with a lump in their stomach, but with confidence.

Olaf Martins, Cooperation Partner

Good and open communication is not possible without freedom of expression. Through my work, through courage, transparency, creativity and honesty, I want to contribute to preserving this freedom.

Through tailored leadership programs and workshops, I strengthen leadership capabilities and optimize recruiting processes to make companies more agile and successful.

My motivation
I support people and organizations in their development because I believe that companies with an inclusive and appreciative culture are more successful.

My experience in HR transformation and diversity & inclusion has shown me that change only succeeds when people actively shape it. That’s why I help companies optimize structures and foster talent effectively.

My goal: a workplace where diversity is a strength, leaders act with clarity, and companies succeed both strategically and humanly.

Added value for the customer
With my broad knowledge, I provide ideal support to organizations in their change processes leading them towards business agility. My systematic perspective focuses on people.

As Head of Internal Communications at McKesson Europe, change facilitator and strategic communications consultant, I recently supported the company in major transformations such as the sale of the company, restructuring processes and Covid-19. Previously, I was a consultant in the field of internal communications and change management, so I know the needs and perspectives of both sides very well.

Added value for the customer
As a PhD gratuated communications scientist, I take a holistic approach to issues, hold all the threads in my hand even with complex topics and never lose sight of the employees. As a winemaker’s daughter, I am a creative doer and problem solver – efficient, structured and empathetic, with both feet firmly on the ground.

My motivation
I am motivated by the employees at the center of the transformation (or internal communications in general). I want to help create the best possible settings for them and motivate them. I love analyzing and solving problems and creating real added value for my clients.

Veronika Zimmer

Personal background
After completing my Master’s degree in Communication Management, I worked at a specialised management consultancy company which helped companies from various branches develop communication strategies, strengthen their positioning and further develop their processes and structures in the communications department. During this process, I trained in the New Work, Lean Strategy and OKR (Objectives and Key Results) management methods.

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.
