Dare to Lead in New Ways | Change Consulting & Leadership Training | 1:1 Mentoring for Founders | German-Vietnamese Founder of Growpany 🇩🇪 🇻🇳

"What if I fall?"
"Yes, but… what if you fly?"

In 2022, I had everything I thought I wanted...
A successful IT career. Leading large-scale AI and transformation projects. A promotion to Managing Consultant. A steady income. Security.

But deep down, I knew:
I want to create more impact on peoples lives. 

Over the years, working at the intersection of digitalization and change, I saw one thing clearly:

Innovation doesn’t fail because of tech.

It fails because of fear.
Because of miscommunication.
Because of people.

So I jumped.

I left the corporate world and founded my first coaching company, Growpany, with one clear mission:

– To help leaders raise their consciousness and lead with clarity, courage, and empathy.
– To turn humanness into a superpower – in an age shaped by AI and machines.
– To empower change-makers and other female founders to fully own their greatness by empowering their brains.

🧠 Hi, I’m Thila. And I deeply believe:
The more technological our world becomes, the more human we must be.
We don’t make our biggest impact through strategies or methods -
but by owning who we are and sharing our unique gift.

🎤 As a speaker, facilitator and moderator, I bring these insights to the stage.
🎙️ On my podcast Phamtastic Insights, I share bold, real transformation stories from the C-Suite, business, tech and leadership.

Want to make a difference - and own your greatness?
Let’s speak.

Because:
Coming together is a beginning.
Staying together is progress.
Working together is success.

I saw how fear and risk-aversion can block innovation, frustrate engaged employees, and stall revenue and growth - long before I entered the workforce.

As a teenager, I watched my father propose to embed software into his employer’s hardware - years before digital transformation became critical.

The idea was gold. But it was too unfamiliar, too “risky” for a company built to make and sell sensors.

My dad left to build his own business. 

Thirteen years later, his former employer acquired it.

That full-circle moment led me to believe: organizations don’t fail from lack of talent or ideas. They stumble because legacy systems, bureaucracy, politics, and fear block entrepreneurial energy.

The cost?

Lost customer trust. Lost talent. Lost relevance.

I’ve seen these patterns across contexts:
⛔ In SMEs, where legacy metrics and tradition blocked innovation
⛔ At global enterprises, where 13-signature approvals stalled momentum
⛔ In startups and scale-ups, where speed without structure leaked resources and burned out talent 

Over 20 years across Europe, Asia, and the US, I developed a holistic approach to:
⏩ Unlock energy drained by bureaucracy and silos
⏩ Replace fear & ego with evidence-driven decisions
⏩ Build structures, systems and cultures where entrepreneurship and innovation thrive

This became the foundation of SwissLEAP:
Lasting Entrepreneurial Action Practices.

As Peter Drucker said: “Innovation isn't an art, nor a science. It is a practice. And the entrepreneur’s instrument of choice.” In EMBA programs, I teach senior executives to master it.

How I Help
I support boards, CXOs, and founders with:
➪ Strategy Advisory & Sparring: navigate uncertainty, seize market opportunities, and lead change
➪ Lean Innovation Team Training & Mentoring: innovate with impact - without fear or politics
➪ Organizational Development: combine startup speed with enterprise excellence at scale

The Impact - our programs:
➪ Solve strategic core challenges
➪ Train talent and improve collaboration
➪ Build a culture of learning and innovation

Organizations evolve into ecosystems that:
➪ Learn, boost revenue & protect margins
➪ Continuously evolve and create sustainable value
➪ Balance exploration of uncertainty with strategic execution

Why I Do This
Because I believe the world needs organizations that innovate with impact - without burning out their people.

Let’s Connect
The entrepreneurial energy is already there. My role is to help you unleash it, align it, and sustain it.

If that resonates, let’s talk - and turn uncertainty into opportunity together.
