Dr. Silvia Schmalzl - Consultant

I’m a physicist by training, a systemic consultant by conviction, and a business development professional with more than 25 years of international experience in high‑tech sales and key account management.
 

Throughout my career I have learned one important truth: data alone doesn’t tell the whole story. Numbers are essential – but they don’t reveal the hidden dynamics in teams, markets, or relationships. That’s why I connect rational metrics with systemic field analysis, so leaders can make decisions with both clarity and foresight.
 

I’ve had the privilege of:
 

Growing international key accounts up to 92% (Bosch) and 84% (Elmos)
 

Winning 60% market share from a leading competitor at Freescale

 

Building bridges between cultures, disciplines, and organizations worldwide

 

But some of my most valuable lessons on leadership don’t come from boardrooms or conferences, they come from my horse 🐎.

Working with such a strong, sensitive animal has taught me more about trust, presence, and authentic leadership than any business seminar ever could.

Horses don’t listen to titles or KPIs, they respond to clarity, empathy, and consistency.

In many ways, they are the ultimate leadership coaches.

 

Today, I bring this blend of science, systemic insight, business expertise, and human experience to leaders who want to see deeper and act smarter.

 

Beyond consulting, I am a speaker and author – sharing insights on systemic thinking, leadership, and sustainable growth at international conferences and panels:

 

Space Development Conference, Orlando USA – Systemic Strategies for Sustainable Growth in the Space Economy

 

Palm Beach Atlantic University, USA – Ethical Values and Consciousness for Innovative Climate Solutions

 

International Research Conference, Sri Lanka & Online – Holistic Systemic Business Development

 

…and more across Europe and North America.
