About me
I help women in STEM create fulfilling careers with impact.
Hi, I’m Mareike Wiedmann, PhD – Career coach & ally.
I am passionately committed to empowering women in the workplace and helping them realise their full potential by supporting them in their career development and professional transitions.
As a career and business coach, a scientist with leadership experience, and a mother of two children, I want to accompany you on your journey to becoming a successful, happy, and confident professional.
Whether you are at the beginning of your career, or at a more advanced stage – I would love to work with you. My coaching sessions are open to whatever your background and your nationality.
My experience
- I support ambitious women with a background in STEM (Pharma, Biotech, Research, and beyond) who are looking for career growth, leadership opportunities, and work-life balance. I believe more women in STEM should be in decision-making roles—roles that suit you and allow you to have the impact you know you’re capable of. Ready to take control of your career? You don’t have to navigate this alone.
- I have successfully completed training as a systemic business and life coach at the Coaching Academy Berlin, which is internationally certified by the European Coaching Association (ECA). I am passionate about coaching because I know first-hand how powerful and empowering coaching can be. A professional qualification is important to me so that I can offer you the best possible coaching experience.
- I have a completed undergraduate degree in Chemistry from the University of Oxford and a PhD from the University of Cambridge and know what it is like to be a woman working in science.
- I previously worked as the Head of Research Pipeline Development at an international and innovative biotech company in the Pharma Industry with the aim to bring new cancer medicines to the patient. I have leadership experience from both Big Pharma and in a fast-paced start-up environment. I am a working mum and understand what it’s like to juggle professional and personal life.
- I have an international mindset and am passionate about discovering the world we live in and the people we share this planet with and have so far lived and worked in the UK, China, Japan & Germany.
- A coaching session with me is non-judgemental, empowering, empathetic, and honest. Whether you are at the beginning of your career and interested in self-leadership, or at a more advanced stage of your career. Let’s talk!
