Erfolgreiche Karrierebrüche: Mit Transferable Skills das Talent Management neu denken
Springer Gabler, 2026
Unconventional careers are not a risk - they are a competitive advantage. This book shows how organisations can make productive use of transferable skills, inclusive talent management and a skills-first approach to career breaks: from recruiting and personalised learning paths to internal mobility. A dedicated study shows that non-linear careers increase innovation, resilience and retention. With hands-on tools for everyone who wants to deploy talent strategically.
My most recent book — and the foundation of the "Work & Economics" track.

Springer, 2024 · with Dr. Zeina Matar
The English edition of our book on international professionals - written for international readers and for the people it is about.

Internationale Fachkräfte für die DACH-Region: Finden, binden und entwickeln in einer Arbeitswelt der Zukunft
Springer Gabler, 2023 · with Dr. Zeina Matar
The skills shortage is not a recruiting problem - it is a question of the entire employee experience. From employer branding and onboarding to retention, development and offboarding, Dr. Zeina Matar and I show how organisations can truly win and keep international professionals. With over 70,000 accesses on SpringerLink, one of the most-read books on the topic — and the German-language basis of the English edition.
Interkulturelle Kommunikation in der Gesundheitswirtschaft: Herausforderungen, Chancen und Fallbeispiele
Springer Gabler, 2018 · with Dr. Zeina Matar
Where cultures meet, communication decides whether trust is built — nowhere more visibly than in healthcare, where culturally shaped ideas of health and illness influence the collaboration between patients and providers. Numerous case studies from everyday practice show how intercultural communication succeeds and how intercultural competence is developed — all the way to a diversity strategy for organisations. Designed as both a professional and a teaching book, my first Springer title — and the beginning of my work on transitions.
