My story.

Passionate about people, I think that is the best way to describe what I do and why I do it. Over what seems a lifetime already, I have grown from national and international companies to where I am today, doing what I love most: helping people understand people on the work floor.

With a passion for equality and a mission to create change, I started my own journey as Diversity and Inclusion Consultant & Intercultural Coach in 2018. My journey began with a deeply held belief that a society where all voices are heard is a more resilient and richer society. With an academic and professional background in tourism and HR, I combine my academic knowledge with practical insights to develop customized strategies that help organizations build inclusive workplaces. In a world where everyone is recognized and valued, I am committed to guiding organizations on the path to an inclusive culture where diversity is embraced as a strength.

What sets me apart is my unwavering commitment to results and the individuals I mentor. I believe in the power of dialogue, empathy and education to build bridges between different backgrounds and perspectives. 

With infectious energy and an empathetic approach, I create a safe space where candid conversations can take place and people are encouraged to speak up.

My mission is clear: work with you to create an inclusive work environment where everyone, regardless of background, feels welcome and can develop. Together we will break down barriers, address prejudices and build a culture where respect and understanding are central.

Ready to walk the road to diversity and inclusion together? Let’s initiate change, one step at a time, and build a world where every individual is celebrated for who they are. I look forward to supporting you and your organization on this exciting journey to inclusive excellence.

Testimonials.

  • “With great respect for and understanding of the culture, possibilities, interests, talents and needs of both parties, Ilse seeks to create spaces where employees and employers can flourish together in a safe working environment. During the past 2 years, she inspired me to give multiple non-native employees an opportunity in my team, for which I am very grateful. Ilse combines enthusiasm and passion for people with realism to make things happen. She’s well-prepared and continuously supported both the employees and myself as employer. An extremely professional matchmaker.”
