I have really enjoyed working with Mareike. What initially drew me to working with her was her very similar background to my own (PhD in Chemistry), as well as her impressive and diverse experience spanning academia, big pharma, biotech startups, and different countries and cultures. The perfect experience to help you figure out whether you want to work in academia or industry, as well as advice on moving and living abroad.

Mareike really helped me understand what I wanted from an ideal role, as well as life in general. That clarity alone was invaluable. But she went far beyond that: equipping me with practical tools and frameworks for negotiation, communication, and navigating conflict with confidence, and many other useful exercises/resources. She is a patient and perceptive listener, and I always appreciated our discussions.

Whilst working with Mareike, I landed a dream job, successfully negotiated a meaningful salary increase, and stepped into the process feeling prepared and self-assured in a way I hadn’t before.
