About me

Susanne Klinke is founder and owner of SKC – Susanne Klinke Consulting, combining strategy consultancy and interim management. I previously served as Managing Partner of ThePowerTo (an organizational development and leadership consultancy), as CMO of Cerascreen (a health tech e-commerce company), as CEO of Scraegg (a food & appliance startup) and in global marketing leadership roles at Siemens HA, Mars Wrigley and Kearney.

As business executive, interim manager and consultant I’m driving sustainable business growth by combining strategy and execution, data and creativity, process and people. Benefiting from 20+ years experience in driving growth and transformations and overcoming the barriers for success.

What I do

I am helping brands and organizations to grow. In fact, I am doing transformations – precisely identifying growth levers, honestly uncovering pain points, actively engaging people and impactful executing solutions.

Transformation

Transformation is not a one-time program but rather an ongoing journey. Don’t expect magic use-cases but rather a mix of focused solutions to achieve impact on scale.
