An audience that checks the numbers

Speaking on a Frankfurt stage means speaking to people who scrutinise for a living: bankers, consultants, insurance professionals, plus pharma and chemicals from around the Höchst industrial park. This audience hears the counter-question behind every claim. Motivational rhetoric that still earns applause elsewhere gets quietly dismantled here. A keynote only carries if it can back up what it asserts. Jasmin talks about decisions she made herself, about their consequences and about what she would do differently today. Where numbers appear, they are her own and verifiable. That is not a matter of style. It is the condition under which an analytical room listens at all.

The impulse within a Frankfurt programme

Frankfurt keynotes open industry conferences at Kap Europa or the Congress Center of the Messe, set the direction for leadership meetings in the city's hotels, or condense a corporate event in the evening, for instance at the Alte Oper. The city's business is international, so English is often the language of the programme: Jasmin delivers keynotes in both languages and takes the Q&A in the other one on request. When picking a date, check the trade fair calendar. In weeks like the Book Fair in October, hotels and suppliers are booked out early, so plan with lead time.

Leadership practised, not paraphrased

Jasmin was most recently a Director at Robert Bosch, responsible for 100 people across Europe and the Middle East, after roles at SAP and within the Volkswagen Group, alongside a Master of Science and an MBA. Her topics grow out of that practice: how leadership stays credible during transformation, how communication works under pressure, why change projects really fail. In the briefing she tailors topic and examples to your industry, from regulatory pressure in finance to digitalisation in mid-sized companies. The full career path is in the curriculum, the format is explained on the keynote speaker page.

Short journey, clear agreements

Jasmin reaches Frankfurt from Ludwigsburg by ICE in about one hour twenty, early morning slots included. Many organisers combine the keynote with hosting the whole event; one briefing covers both roles. The local context is on the Frankfurt city page.

Frequently asked questions

What does she speak about, and what fits a bank or consultancy?
Her core topics are leadership, communication and transformation. For finance and consulting audiences she picks up their situation in the briefing, such as change driven by regulation and technology, and connects it with experience from her own leadership work.
Our conference runs in English. Does she deliver the keynote in that language?
Yes, entirely. Her English comes from more than ten years of corporate work, not from a language course. Mixing also works: talk in English, Q&A in German or the other way round, depending on the room.
How does her keynote differ from an expert talk by our own people?
The outside view and the narrative perspective. Internal talks explain the what; Jasmin shows the how through her own example: decisions, resistance, results. That complements your expert agenda instead of competing with it.
How much lead time do we need for a date in a trade fair week?
The earlier the better. During the Book Fair and other trade fair weeks, calendars and hotels fill up fast. Six months of lead time is realistic in those weeks; outside them, much shorter notice works.
Does the audience get time for questions after the keynote?
If you want it, yes. Jasmin plans the Q&A as its own programme item, moderates it herself and condenses the questions from the room. Analytical audiences in particular use this part intensively; it deserves dedicated time.
