With over 25 years of international experience across Strategic HR and Talent Management, Elke has supported leaders, teams and organisations in large multinational environments across three continents. She brings a strong combination of strategic insight, people focus, and hands-on execution.

Elke partners with executives, leadership teams, and organisations to turn strategy into aligned action. She strengthens accountability, ownership and collaboration, particularly in complex change contexts where clarity and commitment are critical. Her experience spans the design and deployment of leadership programmes and strategic people transformations. As she is certified in ADKAR, she brings experience from large-scale change initiatives.

As a strategic facilitator, Elke designs and leads interactive tailor-made workshops with a clear business objective in mind.

Her facilitation consistently moves groups beyond discussion towards concrete decisions and sustained action.

Known for her enthusiastic and warm personality, combined with a sharp understanding of group dynamics, Elke excels at creating psychological safety and uses science-based techniques to do so. This enables leaders and teams to engage in open, honest, and constructive dialogue, essential for successful change and high-impact leadership.
