Hi, I am Julia. Over the past 15 years and beyond, I have dedicated my work to academia, focusing on research and teaching as a university professor in practical philosophy, applied ethics, and aesthetics, at the intersection of neuroscience and (social) psychology, particularly across the fields of art, design and technology. Alongside my academic work, I have gained leadership experience in various managerial and executive roles, both on my career path being a professor in philosophy and as a founder and company owner in the media, art, and design sector. Throughout the past decade, my work hereby has consistently centred on projects and services related to sustainable cultural transformation, gender equity, fairness, diversity, inclusion, and wellbeing. In recent years, I have additionally specialized as a social sustainability & leadership coach. I integrate all my experience to support both organizations and individuals in fostering more equitable, fair, inclusive, and sustainable environments and approaches. At the organizational level, this work contributes to the development of inclusive, diverse cultures, particularly gender sensitive and intersectional aware work practices. At the individual level, it also supports professionals, mostly women in leadership —particularly those who have experienced forms of social discrimination, bias or structural barriers themselves or in their work environment—in navigating and processing these challenges and in transforming them into sources of resilience, constructive action and reflective socially sustainable leadership.
