EVA KIRCHHOFER
I derive immense joy from the smell of a new book, the freedom that comes with reaching the summit of a mountain, hosting a Friendsgiving dinner and filling bellies with love, or teaching my dog a new trick. For sure, you will mostly find me in a great mood. On the rare occasion that I’m not, a walk, a good cup of coffee, and a cookie will do the trick. To most people, I am known as a dedicated and avid organizer, always planning (annoyingly) early and keeping a well-structured to-do list with me. (Yes, I’m that friend who organizes everyone’s travel documents.) Once my serious business is completed, I dive into my passion for helping enterprises achieve success. I deliver multimillion-dollar projects, mostly in the automotive and aerospace sectors, and use my knack for effective and kind communication to make organizational change management less painful.
