Moderator & Sparring Partner

What is nourished grows;
What grows bears fruit.

I moderate conferences, support teams and accompany specialists and managers where the future of society is being shaped.

Arrange a meeting

Dialogues that work.
Decisions that last.

At the intersection of politics, business, and civil society, I create spaces where people are heard, trust is built, and sustainable results become possible.

What customers and partners say about my work

"Gwendolyn worked as a consultant for our Southeast Asia office of the Heinrich Böll Foundation in a challenging sector dialogue between German companies and civil society actors in the region. I have experienced working with her as extraordinarily enriching. She accompanied our team and the civil society actors involved in the conception, moderation and further development of topics for the engagement and helped both sides to sharpen their positions and advance the dialogue. Her feedback was always precise, constructive and combined with a keen sense for the different perspectives and sensitivities of the format. I would work with Gwendolyn again at any time and recommend her without reservation."

Florian Reinold, Regional Director, Heinrich Böll Foundation Southeast Asia

"Gwendolyn supported us both in the development of central guidelines for the Energy Industry Dialogue and in the implementation of the conference "Meaningful Stakeholder Engagement – From Principles to Practice". In her work, Gwendolyn succeeds in systematically observing the requirements of the stakeholders involved through targeted interviews and workshops and translating them into practical documents, workshops and events. She moderates discussions in a structured manner and creates a constructive framework for the exchange between different perspectives. We appreciate Gwendolyn's methodological rigor as well as her ability to prepare complex content in a way that is appropriate for the target group and are happy to recommend her as an expert in moderating and supporting multi-stakeholder processes."
