Innovation expert Katja inspires us: ‘’Just do it. Don’t get distracted and go for what you’re worth.’’

Katja is 51 years old and supports organizations to innovate their processes through her company Greenpoint. As a successful businesswoman she knows her strengths – and perhaps more importantly, her worth.

Everyday Inspiration

Success is not created, it is inspired. Katja’s number one way to find inspiration in the everyday is by running.

“Running helps me channel my energy. It gives me a physical outlet to find inner peace.’’

Katja is also inspired by top athletes – and specifically individual sports. She deeply admires their ability to put themselves in a state of trance. Conjuring this supreme focus with an audience of millions is no small feat. 

Being able to create their own bubble and therefore being able to deliver a top performance is something that inspires her every day.

Career

Whatever career you choose, everyone has their ups and downs. That’s why it’s so important to treasure the defining moments on your path. Katja’s most beautiful moment of her career?

’The moment I felt I was shifting from junior to senior. From executive to strategic management. The moment I realized that I am the expert within my field.’’ And that’s something we admire in Katja.

Her plans for the future are simple. She simply wants to continue doing what she’s good at because it gives her energy.

Katja’s advice for women who want to start their own business?

‘’Just do it. Don’t get distracted and go for what you’re worth.’’

Fashion

Like every successful businesswoman, Katja knows the value of a great wardrobe – especially when it comes to special occasions. Her Marylène Madou suit is a perfect fit for that.

‘’Special occasions call for a special outfit…every day is special.’’
