Bianca-Maria Klein: “I love change and people are my home!”
Bianca-Maria Klein was born into the medical world: her father, a well-known cardiologist, took her on international trips and conventions as a child. For Bianca-Maria, it was obvious that she would shape her career in the medical field. Thanks to her Italian mother, she grew up bilingual, speaking fluent German, Italian, English, French and Spanish.
Her 20-year international career with corporations such as Boston Scientific, among others, as a sales, research & marketing executive, has taken her to the USA, Belgium, Italy & Switzerland and has significantly shaped her in dealing with personal change and corporate transformation.
Additionally, Bianca-Maria is trained in systemic, – team and solution focused coaching (certification ICF). As a certified keynote speaker with international training, she is a member of the German Speakers Association and Global Speakers Federation.
After her professional experience in responsible positions in international medical technology with personnel management, she is now active as a speaker, coach and trainer. She is passionate about supporting companies and executives in the transformation process – and is happy to share her own personal experiences with them.
Her conviction is that transformation can only be successfully mastered if the following three areas receive the utmost attention: company culture, leadership style and external and internal communication. In doing so, Bianca-Maria focuses on active “expectation management” in order to clarify demands, expectations and goals of the different communication levels and thus make successful change possible.
