Personal information

Bio
MOTIVATION & DRIVE
Bernadette is a happiness advocate, new work enthusiast, and creative thinker with a passion for people, change, and the transformative power of design in our work and living environments. She and her teams thrive on discovering, sharing, and implementing new ways to elevate the human experience.

TEAM PLAYER
Bernadette brings infectious enthusiasm, a love of learning, and a multitude of ideas to tackle challenges. She never loses sight of how vital it is for everyone to feel connected to an organization's purpose and a team's success. With integrity, idealism, a "refuse-to-fail" mindset, and a deep appreciation for diversity, she helps teams reach their full potential.

PASSION
In 2021, Bernadette discovered Seligman's Well-Being Theory and later the Science of Happiness. The field of Positive Psychology immediately captivated her, evolving into a profound passion. Since then, she has built a portfolio of science-based interventions designed to help employees — and organizations — flourish.

CAREER
Bernadette’s career has been dedicated to enhancing the human experience at work.

At Design Offices, a leading German co-working provider, she played a key role in the company’s growth during its financing rounds in 2017 and 2018. At Steelcase, the global leader in office furniture, she managed a €10M+ annual revenue portfolio as a Global Account Manager, building strong, long-term client relationships. In 2022, she joined the Special Projects Team, successfully guiding a dozen hidden champions through their workplace transformation.

In early 2025, Bernadette took on a new challenge by joining Westwing’s Business Development Team People, where she inspires, drives, and follows through on decisions that elevate the employee experience to the next level.

Bernadette builds workplaces where people feel energized, connected, and empowered to reach their full potential — leveraging science, business expertise, creativity, and human connection to drive meaningful, lasting success.
