Hi there, my name is Katharina Covadonga Clören.
I discovered my passion for data analysis and reporting during my studies – quite unexpectedly, in a student job. That’s when I realized how much I enjoy analyzing complex patterns and bringing them to life through creative visuals. For me, data visualization is the perfect blend of analytical detective and creative artist: I love uncovering hidden insights and presenting them in a way that’s clear, engaging, and impactful.

For the past two years, I’ve been working as a consultant with a focus on Data Analytics and Data Storytelling. What fascinates me most is the incredible potential and variety that lies in good visualizations. Before starting my consulting career, I spent a year traveling around the world – driven by curiosity, a love for adventure, and an open mind for people, cultures, and new perspectives. That same openness shapes the way I work today: Data is everywhere, and it always tells a story – you just have to listen (and look) closely.

When I’m not building reports or analyzing data, you’ll find me moving (like yoga, bouldering or lifting heavy stuff), enjoying food from around the world, or exploring the planet.

Coach professionnel certifié et facilitateur, j’accompagne les organisations dans leurs transformations grâce à des dispositifs immersifs, ludiques et profondément humains. Ma formation de coach nourrit une pratique rigoureuse, éthique et centrée sur la qualité de la relation, tout en laissant une large place à la créativité et à l’expérimentation.

Après plus de vingt ans en tant que manager d'équipe et d'accompagnement des transformation dans l'industrie, j’ai choisi de mettre cette expérience au service de l’intelligence collective. Je connais les réalités du terrain, les enjeux humains et les besoins concrets des équipes. Cela me permet de concevoir des ateliers à la fois inspirants et opérationnels, où l’on apprend en vivant et en jouant plutôt qu’en restant dans la théorie.

J’explore particulièrement les approches narratives et ludiques comme leviers de transformation. J’ai co‑créé "Les Aventuriers de la Draille", présenté à LudiNord Pro 2025, qui aide les équipes à questionner leurs modes de fonctionnement, renforcer la coopération et développer de nouvelles façons de penser et de décider ensemble. Mon dernier atelier sur les chapeaux de Bono sera aussi présenté à LudinordPro 2026. Je suis aussi créateur de jeux d'édition présentés au "off" du FIJ à Cannes en février 2026.

Aujourd’hui, j’accompagne dirigeants et collectifs à clarifier leurs enjeux, fluidifier leurs interactions et prendre des décisions plus éclairées, tout en cultivant des dynamiques de travail plus créatives et plus sereines.

Mon ambition : créer des espaces où l’on ose, où l’on apprend et où l’on se transforme — avec profondeur, exigence et le plaisir de jouer ensemble.

Hi, I’m SK - CTO of InzpireU, Technology Innovator, and a lifelong believer in the power of mentorship to humanize learning.

With over two decades of experience at the intersection of engineering, AI, and digital transformation, my journey has always been guided by one core principle: Technology should amplify human potential, not replace it.

Why InzpireU?

InzpireU was born out of a bold vision - to make learning deeply personal, purposeful, and human again. In a world overwhelmed with content and chaos, we’re building a new kind of learning platform: AI-powered, but mentor-driven. One that champions accountability, guided growth, and impact.

Our mission?
To help people, especially those from underrepresented communities, not just learn more, but learn meaningfully - through mentorship, community, and personalized accountability.

My Tech Origin Story

Back in 2003, when AI was still a distant buzzword, I developed a neural network model for early cancer detection. It was personal. It was ahead of its time. And it gave me my first taste of how AI could change lives - not just systems. That experience became my blueprint for building tech with a soul.

From Engineer to Ecosystem Builder

Today, as a fractional technology leader, I help startups and purpose-driven organizations craft AI and data strategies that are scalable, ethical, and aligned with business impact. My sweet spot? Turning bold ideas into executables, and vision into value - all while staying rooted in the human experience.

Recognitions & Milestones:

🏛 Recognized by the DC Capitol for pioneering a mentorship-based learning model
🧠 Patent pending for our AI-powered goal accountability framework
📰 Featured as an AI Champion by Daily News Network
🎙 Interviewed on multiple tech and innovation podcasts for my work on AI with purpose

Beyond the Title

At heart, I’m an engineer. But my true calling is impact. Whether it’s mentoring non-tech women entrepreneurs through LaunchWise, or building community-based learning models with InzpireU, I believe in building technology that cares - and shares.

Let’s build a world where growth is human-first, learning is goal-driven, and mentorship is a way of life.
