I help teams make collaboration clearer and more effective.
As a full-time Team & Organizational Development Coach at Lumea Technologies, I support startup teams, executive boards, leaders, and product teams with team building, challenging collaboration, and change—using facilitation, systemic coaching, and my experience in tech, product, and leadership. My goal is to help ensure that sustainable decisions are made, responsibilities are clearly defined, and projects move forward reliably.
External consulting, workshops, and longer-term engagements are part of my role at Lumea and are commissioned directly through the company · on-site and remote.
Profile
Technical depth. Leadership experience. A feel for dynamics.
I work where collaboration, structure and human dynamics need to come together.
My career began in software development and architecture. I built digital products and teams from the ground up, led people and technical work, and later shifted my focus to team development, facilitation and coaching.
This means I know organizations from the inside—not just as an outside observer. I understand what it means to make decisions under pressure, distribute responsibility, navigate tension, and keep delivery on track at the same time.
Method follows situation – not the other way around.
Services
How I support teams and organizations
My work combines systemic coaching, structured facilitation, and experience in agile product and organizational development. The situation and the desired outcome determine the approach—not a fixed set of methods.

Experience demonstrated through concrete work
Examples from consulting, product organizations, and early-stage company building.
Cross-team collaboration · multi-day workshop
From individual perspectives to shared direction
A cross-functional team developed a shared vision and a roadmap. Knowledge gaps that were openly discussed were translated into concrete actions, and workflows were modified collaboratively. Numerous next steps were assigned to specific individuals, along with binding deadlines. The first positive effects are already evident: The teams involved are communicating more directly with one another and addressing even difficult topics more openly.
