Our Experts

Yve was born in Berlin in the 70s and raised in Thailand, Burma, and Berlin. During her fashion design studies in the 90s she worked as an Aerobic Instructor & Choreographer, which led her to a career in the world of Sportswear. She played on the field for H&M, Nike, Adidas, Decathlon, Sportmaster, and Li Ning to name a few, created some pretty cool stuff and turned organizations upside down with her out of the box team and project vision management. At times it even seemed she walked an unknown path for some organizations.

The past 20 years led her to work in different countries such as Sweden, Germany, Austria, Hong Kong, Netherlands, France, Brazil, China, and Russia. So yes: She obviously loves living global and exploring our cultural differences & consumer behaviors.

Yve also enjoys pushing the status quo of women leadership in male environments. She is known for speaking up and speaking her mind, and has encountered both people and organizations that truly wanted change and took the necessary steps to succeed, as well as the ones that spoke much about it and failed to act.

Staying authentic and true to herself got her to where she is now. At age 48 she shows her five-year-old daughter as a single mom that everything is possible, if you only believe in yourself. To let no one ever tell you you can’t do it and doubt yourself. To always live by your values and aspirations. That might have led her daughter to senserely believe she will ride a unicorn one day, but we think at this age we can still count this as a plus.

Anyways: Creating FrauFUTURE is a dream come true to Yve. Here she can give back to our female community and all of us who feel female. Passing on her learnings out of experience on how to overcome gender gaps and taking pride in being female. To stand up for equality, live your dreams and to succeed in life while living authentically and mindfully.

She is looking forward to meeting you soon and to help you set your very own path for your future goals and successes!

In this sense, “Ahimsa” (nonviolence – every being on earth is equal) and “Namaste” (I acknowledge you for who you are within).

This discovery has led to her working as a Coach & Consultant in financial matters for 6 years now. As Insurance and Finance Advisor with ERGO Pro and FrauFUTURE she has helped uncounted clients to build up a healthy budget, create a personal financial strategy and find ways to see it through.

Before this, and we quote, “second professional life” she had led her own online shop in the field of DIY jewelry. Not the creative kind though (she had tried that on for size), but the buying the pearls, hooks and chains in Asia and selling them in Germany kind. And since she had never done anything like that before, she had to teach herself new stuff every day: Customs regulations, data protection, how to calculate prizes, compelling product photos and descriptions, customer support, packaging and recycling, taxes, book keeping and having employees (okay: one) – if asked, she can (and will) tell you a lot about this!

At the same time, Verena has worked as a freelance copywriter and proofreader in German. And this is actually what she majored in, but alas – life is what happens when you make plans, right?

In her private life Verena loves backpacking and team sports like soccer and beach volleyball. In her eyes there is no better evening than one of those long ones in summer, when you’ve played with your friends until the light faded completely and afterwards have a drink together in some beer garden. As to backpacking, we can proudly announce that Verena has now officially been in 40 different countries (yep, she still has her old passports), including the ones she explored during her 10-month world-trip in 2010. This trip and her ongoing travels have shown her that 1. There are great and lovely people everywhere, 2. Tropical heat is not her weather of choice (one of her most beloved memories is the slight rainfall in 18 degree weather in Australia after months spent in rather tropical areas) and 3. You can achieve and are capable of so much more than you ever imagined.

But let’s go back to her professional life again real quick: Verena will show you how to use this math-thing to make your money work for your goals and dreams in life instead of the other way round. Because being able to do that is not attached to sex. Not at all.

We’re pretty sure her Mom didn’t hold a grudge for too long, because while learning how to be an event manager Maggan met her later husband. They got married in 2019 and have two very purry children … yeah alright, they have two cats.

And you know what else? Maggan did end up in insurances after all! 9 years after her mother’s first attempt Maggan entered the insurance world, first as a side job. That was 2018. In the early light of 2020 Maggan quit her job as event manager and is now a full-time insurance geek. So whether you’d like to make sure you can finally cross that liability thingy off your list or get that weird insurance for your job nobody seems to know more about, Maggan is right there for you.

By the way: Maggan loves fresh air and sports. So if you’re just the same, you might actually bump into her somewhere in and around Berlin.

Lucrezia grew up in a small town in northern Italy and studied at the school of gastronomy. At the tender age of nineteen she left her sunny home country and moved to the vibrant, yet way more cloudy city of Berlin to become a chef de cuisine. At that time, she didn’t speak one word of German, but if you get yelled at every night to cut the tomatoes faster you start picking things up.

After working for 11 years in stressful and busy environments (and learning German), Lucrezia felt the need to do something more relaxing for a change. Consequently, she learnt the art of massage and wellness and started a new career as a freelance masseuse. It was at that time that Lucrezia reached out to us for her financial planning, right after she had received her first pension information letter and wasn’t amused about the numbers. She became a client, and only a bit later, she joined the team. Our „Lakritzia“ is now a well-known go-to person in the Italian community when it comes to financial planning and our number-one source for good Italian restaurants in the city.

By the way: If you want to meet Lucrezia in a more clubby atmosphere, check out dance performances in Berlin. Since her childhood she’s danced as a hobby, and her group has gigs all year round.

Fatma first studied economics in Istanbul and started her career as a business correspondent before transitioning into marketing communications. A couple of years later, she moved to Berlin to pursue a degree in business administration. But Fatma wouldn’t be Fatma, if she forgot about gender equality, even just for a couple of months. So while continuing to upskill and build a career in marketing and sales in her new home, she led her own personal projects highlighting the challenges women face in the business world. These days, she’s not only supporting women to take care of their finances, but also finds the time to actively explore the Salesforce ecosystem and the world of podcasting.

Additionally, Fatma has always had a deep curiosity for languages and etymology, which fuels her long marathon of learning German. When she’s not busy navigating the world of tech and finance, you can probably find her playing basketball with her husband or embracing her true identity as a crazy cat lady.
