Organizational psychologist who builds human-centered cultures using behavioral science and empathetic leadership.
CzechiaWhat I'm looking for
I am an organizational psychologist and strategic people partner who translates evidence-based behavioral science into practical people and culture solutions. I co-founded and led Organizational Development at Motivation Labs, partnered with C-suite leaders on strategic change, designed competency models for scaling companies, and conducted culture audits that surfaced root causes to drive sustainable improvements.
My background blends doctoral research and university teaching with hands-on consulting and psychotherapeutic training in the Person-Centered Approach. I coach leaders, facilitate difficult conversations, and design growth-oriented performance systems, and I am now transitioning into an internal role where I can apply behavioral science to the sustainability sector while fostering psychological safety and empathetic leadership.
