She believes leadership isn’t about fixing people—it’s about creating the conditions for their brilliance to unfold.For more than a decade, she’s designed and scaled leadership programs for Fortune 500 companies, global engineering firms, and professional service organizations—helping leaders across EMEA, APAC, and North America step into their next level of impact. Her work combines business strategy, behavioral science, and a deep respect for the individuality of each leader she coaches.

Fluent in English and German, Petra draws on a cross-cultural lens and a career spent building inclusive coaching networks that deliver measurable results. Whether in a boardroom, a virtual workshop, or a quiet one-on-one conversation, her goal is the same: to help leaders see what’s possible beyond the stories they’ve told themselves—and give them the tools to get there.
