How did you get into transformation consulting?

After graduation, I started as an executive assistant and was immediately appointed to the core team of a company-wide business reengineering program. From then on, the topic of transformation has been at the center of my work. Both in my next job as a member of the management team in a medium-sized company and then later as a consultant, the support of strategically-induced major change processes was always the focus.

In St. Gallen, I learned the systemic approach and the foundational interplay of strategy, structure, culture, and leadership, which is still part of my methodology for transformation projects at Berylls.

What excites you about transformation?

It always excites me to realign or revitalize organizations and help them elevate to a higher level of performance. The greatest thing for me is when we succeed in inspiring executives and employees along this journey, so that they can support the transformation and further develop themselves throughout the process. Only then will the changes we have initiated be put into practice and bear fruit. It is also a pleasure to support companies in this transformational process over a longer period while building lasting relationships.

Ultimately, a transformation is like an open-heart surgery, often exhausting because of its dynamic and complex nature, but at the same time it is very fulfilling when success becomes visible and sustainable.

What are the customer setups you are usually working in?

I regularly work for automotive OEMs and suppliers. For larger transformation projects, my clients are typically from the C-suite level or are their direct reports. For management system topics, I usually work closely with subject matter experts and change agents.

How did you get into transformation consulting?

Originally via strategy work. We always discuss a holistic approach with our clients, and the best strategy only helps if it can also be implemented. My first transformation client had expressed their wish for our implementation support to bring our strategy to life. From then on, I didn’t want to just drop the pen after strategy development.

It’s also very nice to actually be able to see the results of one’s work!

What excites you about transformation

I’m excited about linking strategy and implementation. The best strategy can only be implemented if it is supported by the employees and if the organization is adapted in such a way that enables employees to impact change. At the end of the day, it’s always the people that matter.

What are the customer setups you are usually working in?

So far, I’ve worked with premium OEMs where I have focused on sales, marketing, and HR. I work with both middle and senior management levels.

How did you get into transformation consulting?

I was first thrown into the deep end during my second consulting project, but then quickly discovered my passion. In terms of methodology, it fits perfectly with my focus on software-defined vehicles, where there is a huge need for transformation. This allows me to advise my customers not only on content, but also directly on the transformation process.

What excites you about transformation?

I see two factors there: firstly, I enjoy working with people to help them grow and succeed – this makes our work more tangible than pure strategy concepts.
Secondly, the measurable impact that the transformation work has enables me and my clients to assess how things have improved after only a few months! Our concepts go directly into implementation and don’t disappear into a drawer.

What are the customer setups you are usually working in?

My focus is on OEMs, mostly within central organizational development. My contacts range from mid-level-management to C-suite level. My smallest transformation project involved 100 FTEs while my largest involved 20,000 FTEs.

How did you get into transformation consulting?

As a psychologist, I have a natural interest in change and transformation. But I quickly realized that pure methodological knowledge alone is not enough. Strong content know-how is also required to have a real impact. That’s why I combine strategy and transformation consulting.

What excites you about transformation?

That it goes beyond pure strategy work. Good strategy work is still essential, but transformation also gives me the opportunity to implement these strategies and achieve tangible results.

Another relevant aspect for me is the fact that there is organizational development in every transformation. Ultimately, we are changing the environment in which thousands of people work every day – it is impressive to see how transformations can change this for the better.

What are the customer setups you are usually working in?

My projects are close to top management, as they are usually game-changer projects for my clients. The size of the transformation project team varies. The largest one was staffed with almost 1000 employees from our client and other consulting companies.
