Ines Kaps — EWMD International Co-President

I joined EWMD in March 2023 after listening to a podcast. An EWMD member described the network as supportive, professionally enriching, international, and fun —exactly what I loved about leading AIESEC Klagenfurt as local committee president as a student. Two years later, I'm honored to serve as your Co-President.

What I Bring to EWMD

For 25 years, I've specialized in one thing: turning around failing international projects when collaboration seems impossible. 

As a crisis transformation expert for global projects in engineering and pharmaceutical industries, I help organizations navigate complexity, align priorities across borders, and deliver results under pressure.

My dual perspective—serial entrepreneur (5 companies founded) and management consultant — allows me to understand both the corporate and entrepreneurial worlds that make up EWMD's members.

Through my Crisis 2 Crown Academy, I coach women in project management, helping them lead complex initiatives with confidence.

Academic Foundation: 

•  in Innovation Management & Entrepreneurship (University of Klagenfurt, Austria) 

• Master of Arts in Business Strategy (ESC Rennes, France) 

• Executive MBA (Henley Business School, UK)

Why This Matters for EWMD

As a child, I wanted to be three things: 

an engineer, a pilot, and a diplomat. 

While I became a transformation consultant instead, the passion remains — solving complex challenges, facilitating collaboration across cultures, and helping people work together to achieve what seemed impossible alone.

Personal Note: 

I'm married to a the best husband in the world, who also holds a private pilot license and was an AIESEC Local Committee President himself. 

Between Austrian roots, a German home, Swiss family, and French-British education, I don't just talk about international collaboration — I live and cook it daily.
