In this episode Marcus Druen speaks with Katharina Moser about #notgoingbacktonormal. They talk about how she has adapted since the lockdown, both on a personal level and as an entrepreneur. They then dive into the topic of making online encounters – whether that’s conferences, social gatherings or meetings – as human as possible.
Katharina Moser is a socio-political entrepreneur based in Vienna. She has made UN’s Sustainable Development Goal #17 her primary vision: foster cooperation – in business, politics and society – in order to solve the other 16 global goals together. She worked for the Austrian Foreign Ministry, the British Council and the European Forum Alpbach before founding MOSAIK, an agency that designs and facilitates events where citizens can experience first-hand what it actually means to be “European”. She most recently co-founded the Creative Corona Cooperation to help teams to communicate and collaborate well during this time of isolation.
