Karen Albath – management consultant, executive coach and trainer for Germany and the DACH region
"Effective accompaniment means connecting structure with relationship."

My interest in business and economics was sparked early on: I grew up in an entrepreneurial household – my grandfather and later my father ran a medium-sized company in the printing industry. This environment shaped my understanding of entrepreneurial thinking and action from the ground up.

It taught me how closely business success is linked to responsible leadership, clear direction and the capacity for continuous renewal. As a graduate in Business Administration, I gained deep experience in the financial world. This economic foundation, combined with a systemic, entrepreneurial perspective, continues to define my approach.

Since 2008, my focus has been on people and organisational development, particularly in dynamic, often international contexts – both independently and in collaboration with renowned consulting firms. I work throughout Germany and across the wider DACH region, on client premises, at a neutral venue or online. At the heart of my work is the effective development of people, leadership teams and organisational structures.

FAQ

Your questions
our answers

What does Albath Consulting do?

Albath Consulting provides executive coaching, leadership development and assessment centres for managing directors, executive board members, HR leaders and supervisory boards across Germany and the DACH region. The firm is led by Karen Albath, a graduate in business administration with over 15 years of experience in people and organisational development.

Who is Karen Albath's executive coaching for?

Karen Albath works with managing directors, executive board members, divisional heads, HR leaders, supervisory boards and leadership teams – in corporates as much as in mid-sized companies. Her clients include organisations such as SEG Automotive, Robert Bosch, NORDEX SE, PHOENIX Group and ISOTEC.

Where does Albath Consulting operate?

Albath Consulting works throughout Germany as well as in Austria and Switzerland. Sessions take place on client premises, at a neutral venue or online. The sole proprietorship is registered in Emmenbrücke, Canton Lucerne; travel within Germany is part of the normal scope of work.

Do you work with mid-sized companies?

Yes. Alongside corporate engagements, the Mittelstand is a core focus. Companies without a dedicated people development function receive tailored formats that can grow with the organisation – from a single leadership workshop to a multi-year development programme.

What does working with Albath Consulting cost?

Fees depend on the scope, format and duration of the engagement. An initial conversation to clarify the concern is free and without obligation; an individual proposal follows. There is deliberately no standard price list – a three-day development centre and a single executive coaching process cannot sensibly share one rate.

Are coaching sessions and workshops available online?

Yes. One-to-one coaching can be delivered entirely online, as can parts of development programmes and digital assessment centres. In practice, blended arrangements work best: kick-off and closing in person, ongoing sessions online.

How can I contact Karen Albath?

By email at office@albath-consulting.de, by phone at +49 171 786 3385 (Germany) or +41 76 528 8111 (Switzerland) – or via the contact form further down this page.

What is an assessment centre at Albath Consulting?

Albath Consulting designs and runs assessment and development centres – practical, observation-led and built around the specific requirement profiles of the organisation. They serve to assess suitability and development potential for leadership roles.

Why does Albath Consulting run two websites?

This site addresses the German market and the DACH region. Content for the Swiss market is available at albath-consulting.ch. Behind both stands the same person and the same business – the separation serves market-specific communication only.
