TESTIMONIALS
In their own words
Nous clients are global and range from large corporates to smaller boutique firms. Here's what they have to say.
A CLIENT SAID
"What Katrin offers is like oxygen."
— ANTONIO H., Founder & CEO, Investment Boutique
"I first came to Katrin when I was transitioning into a new role. Since then, I've kept coming back. She helped me understand myself better and the values work, which I was initially resistant to, proved to be incredibly powerful. Together, we built a compass that will guide me for life and a clear sense of purpose."
MOHAMMED · CEO
"Katrin put the brakes on when I needed it most. I know I was a challenging client but her patience helped her get through to me. I am leaving with clarity, purpose and direction I didn't have before. This engagement was transformative in ways I didn't expect."
MOHAMMED · CEO
"She brings genuine warmth but don't mistake that for soft. Katrin's business and finance background means she never loses sight of what actually matters in our world. The work she did with our leadership team shifted something real."
FOUNDER · FINTECH SCALE-UP
"Working with Katrin has been truly transformational. Her sessions gave me the space to slow down and approach my work with a renewed sense of ease. I gained clarity and efficiency for me and my team. My partner benefited too and asked if I wanted more sessions for Christmas."
SIMON K. · FOUNDER, TECH START-UP
"Katrin is a gem. She holds you accountable, challenges you directly and somehow makes the whole thing feel deeply human. Her understanding of the business and finance world means you never have to explain the context. She already gets it."
SENIOR LEADER · INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
"Working with Katrin is a bit like debugging software. She helps you find the bugs, reframe them, and install more relevant software. I had to smile — and then I realised how much had shifted."
NEIL B. · CTO, TECH SCALE-UP
"Find the bugs.
Reframe them.
Install more
relevant software."

I have ADHD and have always found it difficult to focus, structure my thinking, and articulate my ideas clearly.
Through coaching with Katrin, I learnt practical strategies that will stay with me for life. More importantly, I realised how often I was standing in my own way. Katrin helped me recognise this, challenge it, and shift my perspective.
She is highly professional, incredibly patient, and created a safe space where I felt able to open up—something that does not come naturally to me. She also helped me work through the mental muddle that often comes with ADHD, bringing greater clarity, structure, and confidence.
The time I spent with Katrin was genuinely life-changing. I'm sure I'll be back for a top-up in the future.
Thank you.
Lionel C., MD, Investment Banking
Working with Katrin as a founding team was invaluable during a pivotal stage of our growth. She created the space for honest conversations we had been avoiding, challenged our thinking in all the right ways, and helped us align around a shared vision and clear priorities.
Katrin has a rare ability to combine commercial understanding with thoughtful coaching. We left each session with greater clarity, stronger trust, and practical actions we could immediately put into practice.
Our conversations didn't just improve how we worked together—they strengthened how we lead the business.
Founding Team, Venture-backed fintech
When I started coaching, I was very sceptical. I honestly wasn't sure it would make much difference. Now, I genuinely believe everyone should have a coach.
Katrin has a remarkable way of helping you find your own answers. She is calm, patient, and asks thoughtful questions that encourage you to dig deeper than you ever expected.
Coaching has changed the way I approach both life and work. I'm far more focused, my relationships with my team have improved, and I have real clarity about my vision and where I'm heading.
Working with Katrin has been one of the best investments I've made. I'm a client for life!
Bernard, CEO & Founding Partner, Investment Boutique, France
"Working with Katrin has been truly transformational. Her sessions provided me with the space to slow down, break tasks into manageable parts, and approach my work with a renewed sense of ease. I have gained clarity and efficiency for me and my team. My partner benefited too and asked if I wanted more sessions for Christmas!"
​— SIMON K., FOUNDER, TECH START-UP
"Most coaches need translating. Katrin doesn't. She gets the pace, the pressure and the stakes, which means we work on what actually matters, not how to explain it. Genuinely shifted how I lead under pressure."
Paul S., SENIOR PARTNER, HEDGE FUND
I first came to Katrin three years ago when I was transitioning into a new role in a new company. Since then, I’ve kept coming back to her. Katrin is such a great source of energy and wisdom. She helped me understand myself better, and the values work—something I was initially resistant to—proved to be incredibly powerful. Together, we built a compass that will guide me for life, as well as a clear sense of purpose.
- Ali, Managing Director, Investment Banking
"Katrin put the brakes on when I needed it most. I know I was a challenging client, but she was ever so patient, and that patience helped her get through to me in the end. I am deeply grateful for her support during a very difficult time when I had to step up in a big way. This engagement was transformative in many ways. Katrin's approach is impactful, and I'm leaving with clarity, purpose, and direction I didn't have before."
— MOHAMMED, CEO, Private Equity Firm
"Together with Katrin we found the bugs and I got the necessary software updates running. As a tech founder I should have looked at my own operating system years earlier."
— BEN C., FOUNDER, START-UP
Simply excellent! In the beginning, I was not sure of what to expect and where it would take me, but today I can definitely say that my coaching with Katrin went above and beyond of what I would have ever imagined. Coaching with Katrin has closed a gap which I would have never been able to close on my own. Katrin´s coaching style, the questions and tools she´s used have enabled me to open up on a lot of things that naturally I would have probably never talked about. Knowing myself better today, has helped me to calm my inner restlessness, to organize myself better, to raise my self-confidence and also to be proud of what and who I am.
- Danny F., BP
Working with Katrin was a turning point in my leadership journey. Her rare blend of strategic insight, empathy, and practical tools helped me shift from reactive execution to intentional leadership. I now lead with more clarity, confidence, and authenticity—and the results are tangible: stronger executive presence, clearer priorities, and a leadership style that truly inspires. Katrin is an exceptional coach, and I highly recommend her to any executive navigating AI-driven transformation.
Sarah, Executive Director, Investment Banking
"Katrin is my thinking partner (as she promised to be). No matter what I bring or what mood I am in, she will meet me right there. When I am stuck, she listens and/or never fails to have an idea or a 'tool' to help me shift, process, or work through my challenges and figure out the next steps. We also laugh a lot, and one thing I have learned is not to take myself and life so seriously.”
Franc, CEO and Co-Founder
Coaching opens a complete new and intense world of insights. Katrin was the perfect coach who always created a safe space and comfortable atmosphere which made the sessions really enjoyable. I feel coaching is a most valuable experience and beneficial to both your mental and social health. I was privileged to be given the chance to experience coaching with Katrin: it has positively impacted me as a person, employee, partner, daughter, friend, and mother.
Judith
I'm deeply grateful for the powerful coaching I received from Katrin. Working with her has been truly transformative! She provided practical, easy-to-apply techniques and invaluable support that helped me explore my values and better understand my behavior. I gained confidence in navigating challenging discussions and conflicts. Her guidance helped me structure my career development plan and gave me clarity moving forward. I've also noticed a tangible improvement in my overall well-being.
What truly stood out was Katrin's human approach—always empathetic, engaged, flexible and focused on client's needs.
Adriana B. , VP, Investment Banking
We initially engaged Katrin to coach a number of our senior leaders, and the impact was felt far beyond the individuals she worked with.
One of the things that stood out from the beginning was her honesty. If she believes she can help, she'll tell you. If she thinks someone would be better served by a different approach, she'll tell you that too. That level of integrity is rare.
Our industry is demanding and, at times, very masculine. We wondered how Katrin's calm and kind approach would land. It turned out to be exactly what was needed. Her kindness isn't softness—it's a strength. She asks the difficult questions, challenges people respectfully, and creates the psychological safety that allows real change to happen.
She quickly earned the trust and respect of everyone she worked with. Leaders opened up, conversations became more honest, and we saw tangible shifts in confidence, communication and leadership.
Katrin has become a trusted partner, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to any organisation looking to develop exceptional leaders.
