Bio
Marco Betsch
Kathrin is an open minded and extremely dedicated business professional. We worked together at the Ecco Safety Group EMEA, as members of the European Leadership Team. Kathrin is extremely ambitious, always open to go that extra mile, while being a good team-player. She moved from a Sales Director EMEA role into the position as Managing Director ESG Germany. Personally, I was impressed by her passion and compassion, supporting her German team in her new role. In my role as Director of Finance EMEA, I was thankful for her willingness to always provide valued support and information to the Finance team, if and as needed. Kathrin gets things done and the Finance team always valued her input and support. In a few personal conversations, I found one of Kathrin’s strength to be her capability and willingness to strive for continuous personal and professional growth. It was a great pleasure working with Kathrin and I still highly value our periodic communication and exchange of professional lessons learned.

I had the pleasure to work with Kathrin over several years in ESG. We were working on the same projects with the same customers. She is very focussed and perceptive and her main intention is to bring people together in a positive and proactive way. Her language skills, technical understanding and culture sensitiveness help her doing a great job. Thank you Kathrin.
