Leadership Development, Coaching & Consulting Experience

After completing her Master’s in International Business, she started at Ernst & Young (EY) as a Consultant. As a member of the People Advisory Services, she was mostly working in the Retail, Consumer Goods and Pharma sector. During this period, she was heavily involved in designing, conceptualizing, and facilitating not only soft-skill Trainings (e.g. Leadership Workshops, Train-the-Trainer etc.), but also specific technical Trainings (e.g. SAP Trainings).
After working as an external Consultant for nearly 3 years, she decided to stay in the consulting world, but work in-house and build the Learning & Development Department at BCG Digital Ventures (DV) in Berlin. For nearly three years she was mainly focusing on defining Leadership for BCG DV and educating DV’s people on what it means. One important aspect of this huge project was building a DV tailored Leadership Journey for the Berlin & London employees, where she not only designed, but also facilitated most of the trainings for the first management level. In addition, she supported the development of DV’s Line Managers by educating them on Coaching basics (e.g. Active listening, questioning etc.).
Lastly, Leonie has been conducting lots of individual as well as group coaching sessions (Team- and Venture Kick-Offs, Leadership Trainings etc.) within her role as a certified Gallup Strengths Finder Coach.
