Nicola N.

In addition to my main job, I support people and organizations in balancing mental health, self-leadership, and sustainable performance. As a systemic coach with personal burnout experience and a leadership background, I combine sound expertise with authentic, peer-level support.

My work focuses on people in challenging phases – whether they are on the verge of burnout, returning to work after a leave, or at a career crossroads. Concurrently, I assist companies in building a healthy leadership culture and effectively embedding mental health in the workplace.

As Head of Innovation at Havana Club, I was globally responsible for the development and management of Havana Club's innovation strategy. I led an international team, oversaw the entire innovation pipeline, product developments, and insight-driven concept work, and implemented global launches together with teams in Paris, Cuba, and Spain.

My focus was on connecting strategic brand management, creative innovation management, and clear consumer orientation – from idea to market launch.

In my role as Team Lead in Brand Management, I was responsible for the strategic brand management of Havana Club in the German market. I developed national brand strategies, coordinated cross-functional teams, and worked closely with international stakeholders in Paris and Cuba. In addition to creative brand development, KPI analysis, product innovation, and the implementation of international campaigns were part of my responsibilities.
