7 Years of Change: Corporate, Startup, Exit, Climate to AI

What if reinvention isn’t a crisis – but a strategy? Friederike von Waldenfels has lived by an unconventional rhythm: every seven years, a conscious reset. From corporate life to co-founding and exiting Swisscommerce, from climate tech with Forestrock to navigating the age of AI – each chapter a deliberate leap into the unknown. She shares the hard-won lessons from a life of bold transitions: what it really takes to let go, rebuild, and lead with purpose across radically different worlds.
