Founder & CEO
E-Mail: maura@wylkomm.ch
Being an entrepreneur and communication expert, I have fully committed myself to consulting. Whether in strategy consulting for organizations, mediation for groups or individual coaching – changing perspectives, conciliation work, and negotiation are part of my core competencies. When working with our clients, I am able to draw on extensive experience gained over many years in science communication, as a writer and project manager, and as a mediator and sparring partner for people in leadership positions.
