Focus areas
Skills-first organizational design
Today, degrees are less important than actual skills. Ina helps companies transition from rigid job profiles to a dynamic 'skills-based organization' – for greater internal mobility and to close critical talent gaps.
HR Transformation and Culture
HR as a strategic driver—not an administrative apparatus. HR that only reacts is too slow. Ina builds HR functions that think ahead: anchoring culture as a measurable performance factor, aligning processes with strategy, creating structures that support every phase of growth—and remain in place after the mandate ends.
Talent and Success Management
In light of the increasing skills shortage, companies need robust, data-driven talent strategies. Ina develops effective retention concepts, optimizes talent pipelines, and establishes succession planning as an integral part of corporate management. As an interim HR leader, she creates structures that identify, develop, and retain high potentials for the long term.
Crisis management and restructuring
A cool head, a clear strategy – when it matters most. Restructuring is one of the most challenging times for a company. Ina manages these phases with strategic clarity – legally sound, empathetic, and directly on-site as an interim executive. With M&A experience across Europe and the understanding that success depends on leadership.
Career Coaching and Mentoring
Ina supports professionals, high potentials, and executives in their career development and strengthens their impact in modern, international corporate environments. She helps talented individuals to strategically utilize their strengths, make clear career decisions, and successfully position themselves within complex organizational structures.
As a mentor and strategic sparring partner for executives and C-level managers, Ina supports individuals who want to further develop or redefine their leadership role. She fosters a contemporary, authentic leadership style that aligns with New Work principles, global teams, and hybrid work models.
Furthermore, it empowers managers to confidently use AI as a strategic companion in their daily work – from data-driven decisions and productive collaboration to the further development of their own digital leadership skills.
M&A Integration and Harmonization:
M&A processes rarely fail due to financial issues – but rather due to cultural ones. Ina manages the human side of M&A integrations, bridging cultures, clarifying roles and responsibilities, and ensuring that talent is retained. Through clear communication, leadership alignment, and structured integration processes, she prevents cultural clashes and strengthens shared identity.
AI & Transformation
Deploying AI without losing people. AI isn't just changing HR—it's changing how companies operate, what roles look like, and what's expected of people. Ina supports companies in strategically implementing AI: automating processes, adapting structures, and empowering their workforce. And ensuring that this transformation doesn't come at the expense of trust, culture, and engagement.
Leadership & Talent Management
The right people. In the right place. With the right drive. Finding talent is one thing. Developing, retaining, and strategically deploying it is another. Ina coaches leadership teams, builds scalable talent pipelines, and develops succession strategies that truly work. Having the right people in the right place means fewer fires to put out.
Clarity, self-confidence, and effectiveness in complex situations
Ina coaches high-potential individuals, executives, and HR professionals to succeed in dynamic environments. Whether it's a career change, strengthening leadership presence, or overcoming organizational challenges, she offers sparring and practical tools based on real-world experience in companies. Her background as an HR leader ensures that her recommendations are aligned with actual business needs.
