About us
Our Philosophy
Facilitating change processes and supporting executives is a complex undertaking. It requires experience and a broad understanding of organizations, business, and both team and individual processes. That is why we work as a team of consultants with many years of experience — consultants who have held and continue to hold leadership roles, designed business models, and navigated and managed change.
We are an alliance of independent consultants, each of whom contributes their unique experience, knowledge, and personality, shapes the evolution of our work, and takes responsibility for our clients, the people involved, and the projects we pursue.
We are driven by our shared “both-and” understanding.

Facing complexity with clarity – no buzzwords
We draw on the core concepts of transformation, management, and leadership to master complexity with ease. For us, purpose matters – not trends or buzzwords.
Holistic pragmatism – no shortcuts
We focus on holistic perspectives to develop pragmatic, customer-oriented solutions. Good decisions are always based on solid principles.
Responsible action – no greenwashing
We make consistent decisions with responsibility for social and ecological impact. For us, profit, people, and planet cannot be considered separately.
Human-centered structures – no blind spots
We design structures, processes, and organisations with a focus on people because we believe it is essential to create an optimal environment for well-being and performance.
The Founders
Transformation Consultant / Business GraduateAlexandra Perl
I’m a business economist, coach, facilitator, trainer, listener, podcaster, networker, multipotentialite, mother of three, traveler, Berlin native living in the Rhineland, and I’m learning to play the ukulele. I create spaces where understanding and new possibilities arise – between people, in teams, and in organizations.
I’m convinced: Go digital, stay human! Change needs real dialogue – I help make that possible.
Transformation Consultant / PsychologistCarolin Friedrich
I’m a trained psychologist and systemic consultant, constant contrarian, imaginative utopia architect, proud mother, experienced entrepreneur, country girl by birth, chronic clutter-maker, curious explorer, true blonde, and never satisfied with the status quo.
Clients seek my support when they want to break away from the established and enable something new, when they’re ready to face discomfort without losing lightness, when clear words are needed and provocative impulses are welcomed to take change and development deeper.
Our Partners
Wiebke Witt
I am a managing director, psychologist, and consultant for business, politics, and NGOs, a Berliner by choice, yet with many years of living and working in Africa close to my heart. I am particularly drawn to topics that involve conflicts and challenges, where different perspectives come together to yield the best (and sometimes most surprising) solutions. Different cultures, international cooperation, and the convergence of old and new worlds hold a special appeal for me. Whether it’s one-on-one coaching or a large group—I ensure the right conditions are in place so that something new can emerge.
Verena Isa
I am a psychologist, neuroscientist, cat lover, and a Hamburg native with Mexican roots. I am drawn to moving between the business world and therapeutic work, incorporating these diverse perspectives and experiences into my practice. For me, balancing a focus on the individual with an eye for the bigger picture provides the best foundation for successful change processes. I specialize in supporting teams and emerging leaders in their development toward peak performance and well-being.
Thomas Allmang
I’m a psychologist, a happy Rhinelander with one foot in South Africa, and I enjoy getting around both on foot and on all kinds of boards. Leadership and sales are the areas where I provide my clients with practical, personable, and scientifically grounded support. Whether you’re a shop floor employee or a sales director, I quickly connect with the challenges of your day-to-day work and develop real solutions.
Sven Damm
I am a CEO, change manager, winemaker, and angel investor specializing in strategy development, organizational design, and shaping the future for corporations, SMEs, and startups. Even though my best ideas usually come to me while surfing or walking my dog, I live and work in Frankfurt am Main. I support executives and management teams in developing visions, business models, and the appropriate structures and cultures. And on the side, I’m passionate about exciting AI solutions and their impact on collaboration.
Sebastian Debnar-Daumler
I am a psychologist specializing in business and sports, a father, a Berliner by choice, and a former competitive athlete. My passion is exploring the topics of performance and capability from every possible angle. I enjoy applying my experience in supporting elite athletes to executive development and coaching—and vice versa. As co-author of the book “Self-Leadership: Leading Yourself in Uncertain Times,” I bring together research and practical experience to address today’s business challenges.
Laura Schwan
I am a managing director, psychologist, and coach trainer; a mother of three; a Berlin resident by choice; and I love the sea and working in Asian cultures just as much as I love the streets of my hometown. I am drawn to challenging leadership and team situations, as well as organizational and individual development processes. With clear communication and an eye for emotional challenges, I guide people so they can help themselves. Whether it’s a corporation or a startup, the chemical industry or healthcare—developing new solutions is my passion.
Jo Kristof
I am a managing director, organizational consultant, and lecturer with a passion for French culture—both professionally and personally. I’m interested in how we can redesign work to enhance and sustain people’s performance. No frills, just the best methods and leadership principles that truly make organizations successful now and in the future. With a smile and an eye for what matters most, I guide organizations, teams, and leaders through difficult change processes without losing sight of ease and humanity.
Gregor Mielke
I am a managing director, consultant, lecturer, and researcher specializing in high performance, with a background in teaching. I am fascinated by the parallels between my teenage children and research on companies in their formative stages. I love the Rhineland, long hikes, and the view from my garden. For me, the appeal of my work lies in navigating the worlds of academia and practice, sports and business, training and coaching.
