Leaving the warm beaches of California for Munich? Gretchen and her family did just that. The result is an inspiring story of her career evolution from a CMO in the B2B software industry to business founder and entrepreneur.
In this conversation Gretchen and I talk about the whirlwind of relocation, unexpected career detours and the growth that comes with such a bold move. We also discuss:

• The decision and backstory on moving to Germany based on a major opportunity for her career (rather than her husbands)
• How her substantial business acumen informs her approach to leadership consulting
• Why she's passionate about helping leaders become the best versions of themselves so they can lead their teams to do the same
• How and why she transitioned as a successful CMO into a consulting business owner and entrepreneur
• How she developed a proprietary tool and team development method
• How she built up a LinkedIn audience of over 5k followers
• Whether it's better to use accounting apps and services or a professional Steuerberater
• Why sometimes the best thing you can do is just throw some money at a problem!
