Description
I am Anke (*1974), living with my husband Olaf and my two youngest kids (*2004, *2011) in a suburb of Berlin.
My passion is my work in two organizations - one focussing on sustainable business transformation and the other focussing on leadership development connected with social responsibility.
Besides I love to develop our small garden into a sustainable, green spot.
Other things I like: reading, hiking, music such as festivals, learning Italian, Polish or just relaxing with a glas of wine at the fireside.
The day is always too short for everything I want to do!!!
