Profile Dr. Astrid Sandweg

Profile of Astrid Sandweg

After studying electrical engineering and obtaining my doctorate in engineering, I worked for 15 years in various leadership and management roles in international technology companies in a challenging, constantly changing market environment. This experience and my core values of appreciation, empathy, authenticity and clarity have formed the basis of my work since 2008.
In doing so, I combine my professional experience with insights from various specialist areas such as systems theory, brain research and Far Eastern philosophies, thus enabling new perspectives and impulses.

I offer my coaching sessions both in my offices in Tübingen and online.
