Our Team
Katrin – Founder of The Tangerine Tree
As the founder of The Tangerine Tree, I am driven by a deep curiosity about human behavior and a passion for helping people and organizations thrive. With over 15 years of experience in corporate HR and advanced studies in Organizational Psychology, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our mission of fostering resilience, well-being, and growth.
​
My professional journey has taken me from working closely with senior executives in high-pressure environments to studying the science of Positive Psychology and Coaching. These experiences have given me a profound understanding of the challenges individuals and organizations face, from managing chronic stress to navigating workplace complexities.
​
At The Tangerine Tree, I am dedicated to bridging the gap between organizational demands and individual needs. My approach integrates evidence-based psychological methods with mindfulness and self-awareness techniques to create sustainable and meaningful change. Whether it’s helping leaders enhance their emotional intelligence or guiding teams to build stronger connections, I’m passionate about creating solutions that inspire growth and align with purpose.
​
Leading The Tangerine Tree allows me to combine my expertise with a strong vision for empowering people and businesses to unlock their full potential. Together with our team, I am excited to support you on your journey toward resilience, success, and well-being.

In an era where AI is transforming the way we work and interact, Sophia is a firm believer in the irreplaceable value of human connection.
