ABOUT ME
As a trained banker and busines psychologist I started my career as a senior HR professional first in retail and then moved to PwC before I co-founded ‘HILcoaching’ in 2002; a small coaching-boutique focussing on senior executive coaching, team coaching and leadership training.
Living and working in different countries for many years and being part of multi-cultural teams has convinced me that embracing diversity is essential for sustainable business success and led me to becoming a co-founder of Diversity-in-Leadership in 2012. My publications in various journals reach out to scholars and practitioners, and focus on leadership, coaching, diversity and mentoring, and I recently published a book on “The Future of Leadership Development – Disruption and the Impact on Megatrends’ with Palgrave.
I am a supervisor of coaches, sit on the advisory board for Professors without Borders and am an Honorary Professor for Transformational Leadership at UCL.
I work in both English and German.

Daan Roosegaarde
Artist & innovator at Studio Roosegaarde
“Landscapes of the Future”
Presentation
Dutch artist and innovator Daan Roosegaarde presents his lecture ‘Landscapes of the Future’, highlighting his innovative practice which merges people, technology and space to create a future-proof world.
Virtual floods, smart highways and smog sucking towers; Roosegaarde pulls technology out of the screens to explore the social role of design in our world, and activate solutions to improve life in urban environments. As an innovative thought leader, Roosegaarde shows the importance of “Schoonheid” (a Dutch word meaning both beauty and cleanliness) as our new value, along with his vision for a better future.
Daan Roosegaarde is renowned for his dynamic and interactive lectures.
Profile
Daan Roosegaarde (1979) is a creative thinker and maker of social designs which explore the relation between people, technology and space. He founded Studio Roosegaarde in 2007, where he works with his team of designers and engineers towards a better future. Together they develop ‘Landscapes of the Future’ building smart sustainable prototypes for the cities of tomorrow.
Roosegaarde: “I don’t believe in a utopia, I believe in a protopia: a prototype world that we are improving step by step. We do not know what the future looks like and what challenges that entails. What we do know is that there is no way back. If we do not invest in new ideas, we will die. We are all part of the prototype. Let us not be afraid, but be curious and work together.”
Roosegaarde has been driven by nature’s gifts such as light emitting fireflies and jellyfish since an early age. His fascination for nature and technology is reflected in his iconic designs such as Waterlicht (a virtual flood) and Smog Free Project (the largest outdoor air purifier in the world which makes jewellery.
