With over 14 years of experience across Learning & Development, HR, Business, Product, Operations, and Finance, she brings together strategic thinking, behavioural science, and a healthy dose of creativity to design learning experiences that lead to meaningful behaviour change. She holds an MSc in Learning & Development in Organisations and an MBA in Human Resources.

Today, Vanessa designs leadership and team development workshops and learning journeys for organisations, and she supports professionals at every stage of their careers. Her work spans topics such as self-awareness, collaboration, change management, and the thoughtful adoption of AI at work. She loves turning complex ideas into engaging, hands-on learning experiences that people actually remember and enjoy.

When she’s not designing learning experiences, you’ll probably find Vanessa wandering through an art gallery, exploring nature, trying a new sport (just for the fun of it), or enjoying a slow afternoon with a good book and nice conversations.

With over seven years of international experience in Europe and Latin America, Jessica holds a Master’s degree in Work and Organizational Psychology from Universiteit Maastricht, building on an earlier degree in Psychology and training in Ontological Coaching. This combination of academic background and first-hand experience in the field across the Dutch, German, and Spanish markets gives her a distinctive dual perspective: a genuine understanding of what customers and future employees want, paired with insight into how organizations are perceived from the outside.

Jessica provides in-depth analyses of already existing brand & content strategies as well as every step necessary to make sure your brand gets the attention it deserves. Her approach draws equally on her psychological training and years of recruiter-side experience, giving clients both the human and the practical sides of how communicating via Social Media, newsletters and Co. actually works.

She holds a freelance residence permit in Germany and works across Europe and Latin America.

Originally from Australia and based in Germany since 2009, Kathleen knows both professionally and personally how bewildering German bureaucracy can be when your language skills aren’t up to scratch. A trained translator and interpreter, she founded Red Tape Translation to bridge the gap between internationals and the German systems they need to navigate.

Today, Kathleen and her team provide certified and legal translations, interpreting and practical relocation support, with a particular focus on immigration and residence matters, freelancing and self-employment, and navigating German public offices. Red Tape Translation also provides virtual office services for freelancers and small businesses that need a professional business address in Berlin.

Kathleen’s approach is warm and practical rather than theoretical: sometimes relocation coaching becomes “visa therapy” rather than just ticking items of a checklist. Having built her own business and started a family in Germany, she has first-hand experience of just about all the systems her clients encounter, from tax platforms and health insurance battles to marriage and children, along with entrepreneurship and the general joys of German paperwork.

Before becoming an intepreter and entrepreneur, Kathleen spent many years working professionally as an opera singer in Germany.
