Hi, I’m Nyelete. I’ve seen change from many sides.
That’s where Change Perspectives gets its name. If you’ve only seen change from one side, you’ve only seen half the picture.

ORGANISATION SIZE
From corporations to non-profits
In large companies I led transformations and built teams, most recently as Head of Retail at Qualitest Germany. In mid-sized and small businesses I saw how quickly every decision makes itself felt. What works at one scale doesn’t automatically work at another.

INDUSTRIES
Different worlds, similar patterns
Retail, IT services, manufacturing and hospitality each have their own language and pace. My current work includes a camper industry manufacturer with its own production, purchasing and logistics. The patterns that hold up change are often similar. I recognise them quickly.

ROLES
Leading change, supporting it, living through it
I’ve started change as a leader, helped carry it through as an employee and lived through it as a founder. As a volunteer, including as president of BPW Cologne and A.M.A. e.V., I learned to lead without formal authority.

The common thread: IT and people
I hold a German Diplom in business information systems and am an IHK-certified change manager. I understand the technology and know that people are the ones who make change work.

How I came to work for myself
I first worked for myself while studying. Then came more than 20 years in business, many of them in leadership. I led transformations, built teams and kept seeing what makes change fail. It was rarely the technology and almost always how people worked together.
In 2022, I stopped waiting for others to decide where I was going and founded Change Perspectives. With every assignment, I saw more clearly where I could make the most difference. That’s where I work today.

What I stand for
Action before slides:
I care about what changes on Monday morning.
People before tools:
Buying software is quick. Change works when people come with you.
Direct and respectful:
I say what I see and treat people as equals.
Diversity leads to better decisions:
That’s why I advocate for more women in leadership.
