ABOUT US

Who We Are

Curated Culture is a space where we uncover and celebrate the power of healthy organizations that embrace humanity, sustainability and care – for their people, their eco system, for society. Curated Culture is also a community where belonging is not based on agreement, but on compassionate difference of perspectives. 


We are global citizens from all walks of business and of life, passionately curious and genuinely committed to spotting, defining, addressing and driving business and people value through diversity, safety, engagement, and overall humanity at work.

Dreamers and Doers who believe in the power of a team. United by the vision that organizations can be levers for individual wellbeing and in turn for a healthy society. 

We connected partly by design, and partly by coincidence. Because we opened our viewpoints and our hearts, we found each other across the globe - three continents, 7 cities, one mission: To redefine the world of work. Not just for its own sake, but because work is such a fundamental and large part of everybody’s life and hence has the opportunity to influence someone’s eco system or their community for good or for bad. 

We didn’t want to leave this to chance, hence we came together to help - exactly - curate a future world of work that in turn curates a better, a healthier society.

You may wonder, why 7? If you look at the design of our logo, we were aiming for 8 - the symbol of eternity, of everlasting impact, perfection. But there is no perfect. We are very well aware of our own biases, of the experiences not had, of the vast amount of variance in this world. Hence, seat number 8 is consciously left open - FOR YOU. 

You can join as a guest, as a source of inspiration, as an organization to share ideas. You can embark on this journey with us for as long as you feel you can commit. We will always be stretching our minds, our imagination and our understanding of what is right and what is good - for individuals, for organizations, for society at large. 

We welcome the opportunity to learn from you, and with you.

Tell me something different, and you have my attention. Do something different, and you have my full support.


Former corporate HR/People leader, including C-suite and Board roles, turned to start-up/scale-up advisor, executive coach, and angel investor to deliver on my favorite role and mission:

An absolute people lover. Speaker. Moderator. Podcast Host. Culture Curator. You can have my services. Or you can have my heart. Now, what does a heart have to do in business? Well, find out. And never look back. Besides exploring the world with all senses and through all kinds of avenues including my kids' eyes, I am an avid runner, a sailor, and a foodie (that's why I run...). You may want to bring dark chocolate to get the best out of me.


Leadership Stand: I stand for boundless optimism and belief that 1 and 1 give 3, at least: When joint ownership for business results paired with respect for cultural diversity come together, to create a profound positive impact on peoples' lives. Enabling one leader, one team, one organization at a time.
