Vita

Dr. Gabriele Castegnaro, MBA, renowned family entrepreneur, is a consultant and keynote speaker on one of the central topics in family businesses: the complexity and value of an existing and effective corporate culture. Particularly due to the upcoming generational change in many companies, but also due to the massive shortage of skilled workers, many entrepreneurs are asking themselves how they can increase their attractiveness as an employer - both for their existing employees and for potential applicants.

Gabriele Castegnaro's principle is to focus on the concerns of the respective stakeholders. From this, she derives key insights for management, corporate communication and cultural transformation.

Trained as a lawyer, Gabriele Castegnaro initially worked for many years in a renowned Munich commercial law firm before joining the Konen family business in 2001. She subsequently managed both the Munich fashion house and the Bram house in Luxembourg with a total of over 700 employees and gained international recognition for her consistent modernization at both company locations.

After more than twenty years of successful company management, Gabriele Castegnaro decided to leave the company in 2021 and successfully sold it to market leader Breuninger. Today, she uses her knowledge and experience to help companies create a contemporary framework in which top performers can develop in the best possible way - for the benefit of companies, managers and employees.
