Non-Profit Strategist · Leadership Coach · Yoga Teacher
I help people and organisations find their direction — through strategy, storytelling, and movement.
15 years building Non-Profit organisations across 5 continents. 500 hours of Yoga teacher training. One belief: real change happens when mind and body work together.
Hi, Im Susanne
I’ve fundraised over €3 million, led organisations through growth and conflict, built teams across five continents — and spent the last year becoming a certified yoga teacher.
Not because I needed a break. Because I believe the most effective leaders know how to breathe, how to listen, and how to move through uncertainty with intention.
I started my career in London, working in international development and communications. I moved to Berlin to Quinoa Bildung, where I secured over €2 million in funding to establish Quinoa Schulen der Zukunft as a subsidiary. Under my leadership, Quinoa Bildung won the Roman-Herzog-Preis and was featured on ZDF heute-journal. I spent over a decade raising funds, building teams, and growing organisations from the inside out.
Today I bring all of that together: strategy, facilitation, communication, and movement. Whether you need a sharper fundraising strategy, a leadership coach, or a yoga teacher who understands what it means to run an organisation — I’m here.
