My children are part of my life and in my case they are a great motivation to fully develop myself as an entrepreneur and as a businesswoman. It was after the birth of my first child that I really felt the need to create an organisation in which we would promote bilingual education in Spanish and German: Alegría e.V. in Düsseldorf. Moreover, being a mother with professional ambitions in Germany I immediately found my allies in the organisation Working Moms e.V. in which I have been very involved as co-founder in Munich and executive board member for the last four years. Thanks to my children I had the courage to start my own company Why Consult and unlock my expertise on brand management for organisations and individuals to enhance diversity in business and promote careers of diverse talents in Germany. My children are my career booster. Beyond the experience done with Alegria e.V., working moms e.V. and creating my own company Why Consult_ Power of Diversity, they give me the vitality to create an international organisation to support women in the technology industry: net4tec.
