About Lena
The combination of competitive sports, entrepreneurship, and financial/tax expertise shapes the way I view the challenges and opportunities faced by executives, business owners, and elite athletes. Today, I guide exactly these individuals on their path to both financial and personal growth.
My consulting approach combines strategic financial and tax planning with personal development—because long-term success is only possible when numbers and personality are in alignment. As a sparring partner, moderator, catalyst, and tax advisor, I work closely with my clients to develop tailored solutions and new perspectives.
As a former competitive swimmer and experienced managing director of one of Europe’s most successful professional handball clubs, I bring leadership strength, discipline, and strategic thinking to the table. During my tenure, we celebrated outstanding achievements—63 consecutive undefeated matches, winning the EHF European League, multiple German championships, national cup titles, and Supercup victories.
I was responsible for finance, sponsorship, brand strategy, and the positioning of women’s sports—with the clear goal of aligning business objectives with athletic vision and building sustainable structures.
My solid background in auditing and tax consulting—including experience at one of the Big Four firms—complements my profile. Today, I support entrepreneurs, executives, and athletes in developing financial strategies and fostering personal development—with a clear eye for structure, potential, and the people behind the numbers.
As the author of “Living Diversity and Leading Successfully”, I advocate for clarity in leadership, the courage to embrace change, and the mindset to recognise new opportunities—with the goal of empowering people to take action.
I look forward to working with you—professionally, clearly, and on equal footing.
MODERN ADVICE,

A tailored success strategy that aligns your financial and personal goals—with clear priorities, informed decisions, and a realistic plan for implementation. This is how potential becomes visible—and turns into real impact.

THE POWER OF DIVERSITY – Living and Leading with Authenticity and Impact
Every organisation is diverse—because it’s led by different people. This diversity holds immense potential, but only if individuals live their personality authentically—both at work and in their personal lives. Successful leaders break old patterns, embrace new possibilities, and turn emerging opportunities into real progress. Respectful and open interaction with others is a basic requirement. But that takes courage, discipline, and a willingness to lead through change.
This book offers practical examples of how diversity can be integrated to achieve meaningful goals and make change more sustainable. It illustrates the emotional and strategic process behind transformation—and explains why setbacks are part of every successful journey.
Expert interviews with public figures add further perspectives on the power of diversity in leadership. The author speaks directly to executives, entrepreneurs, and anyone looking to lead change and curious about how diversity can support that mission.
