Background

About Katrin Staarmann

As an innovation strategist with 7+ years of experience across consulting, FMCG, and food-tech, I thrive at the intersection of emerging trends, consumer insight, and purposeful growth. I specialize in shaping innovation pipelines and strategic narratives that help organizations navigate change and seize new opportunity spaces – from early-stage foresight to concept development and go-to-market planning. My background spans strategy consulting with a focus on digital innovation, including the application of generative AI, as well as leading product development projects for some of the world’s largest consumer goods brands and developing compelling brand experiences and consumer engagement strategies in marketing and sales roles. I bring a deep commitment to purpose-led innovation, underpinned by a certification in Business Sustainability Management, and I’m passionate about designing solutions that create both business value and positive environmental impact. Driven by a strong learner’s mindset (Gallup Top 1 Strength), I continuously explore new fields and disciplines to broaden my perspective and fuel creative problem solving. I believe in the power of curiosity, empathy, and structured thinking to unlock innovation that matters.
