Hi, I’m Merle
Hi, I’m Merle, founder of MERLE.Community and long-time moderator in the European social innovation and sustainability scene.
I’ve spoken on stages from Berlin to Brussels to Leeds to Nancy, hosted high-level EU dialogues, and coached dozens of change leaders to elevate their voice, refine their message, and grow their public presence with impact and integrity.
I know what it takes to speak in complex spaces—and how to do it with clarity and care.
