Maria Theresia Neuhauser combines commercial sharpness with an agile view of organisations — from a business degree through building and leading a financial services unit to consulting on strategy and change processes. Her focus areas are the design of organisational change, leadership development and agile consulting, and strategy and change management, traditional as well as agile and hybrid. A trained coach and supervisor, she works on Team Development, conflict management and purposeful culture change. Her further training ranges from applied neuroscience to hypothesis-based consulting and negotiation on the Harvard principle.
