About

Throughout her career, Mia Castenskjold, an organisational culture expert and B-Corp leader, has placed people and their well-being at the centre of her practice. Her diplomatic approach has helped her to work cross functional and to observe an organisation with a holistic view. Paying attention to details in the dynamics between people has always come naturally to her and allowed her to mediate and build authentic relationships for her clients as much as for herself. She has a commitment to empowering people at work to recognise their own strengths, skills and abilities and to lead businesses to translate culture into a positive and progressive experience. Her bespoke strategies activate culture through meaningful and measurable policies and practices that bring a brand to life. Prior to founding GmbH, she was the director of culture for a global media brand, managing and implementing the programmes she developed for the leadership and staff. In the past, Mia led cultural relationships and strategic communications for global fashion brands. After two decades in London, working across Europe, the US and Asia, Mia has recently relocated to her native Copenhagen from where she continues to work with international clients. In her spare time, she uses her communications role at Marble.Partners, a collaborative art studio, to sustain, nurture and reinforce her creative thinking. She is a former member of the faculty of Central Saint Martins and earned her B.A. Honours degree in Textile and Fashion Design from Central St. Martins College of Art, London.
