Lucy Larbi

Lucy Larbi

Lucy Larbi is a management consultant, entrepreneur, speaker and Agility+ coach specializing in entrepreneurial leadership, modern organizational design and transformation. She helps leaders and organizations create clarity in complexity, build structures that enable ownership, and translate strategy into meaningful action.

Her work sits at the intersection of consulting, entrepreneurship and future-oriented leadership. With more than ten years of experience across start-ups, mid-sized companies and corporate environments, Lucy brings a practical understanding of how organizations really work from the inside: where decisions get stuck, where teams lose momentum, where leadership becomes reactive — and how clarity, agile structures and entrepreneurial thinking can change that.
Lucy’s expertise is shaped by three perspectives.

First, she is a practitioner of entrepreneurship. As the founder and initiator of several ventures and platforms, including AiDiA, the first Afro-German start-up pitch event, BOLDLY e.V. and akan afrofusion, Germany’s first West African fusion restaurant, she knows what it means to build, lead and scale ideas in the real world.

Second, she brings methodological depth from her work in consulting and agile transformation. Through her Agility+ approach, Lucy supports organizations in designing clearer roles, leaner processes, stronger decision-making and leadership systems that help people take responsibility instead of waiting for permission.

Third, she brings a strong future and impact perspective. Her work connects business effectiveness with inclusion, innovation and social relevance. She believes that modern leadership is not about more control, but about creating the conditions in which people can contribute, collaborate and move forward with confidence.

On stage, Lucy speaks about entrepreneurial leadership, agile transformation, self-leadership, diversity as an innovation driver, and the future of work. Her keynotes combine sharp management insight with lived entrepreneurial experience, clear frameworks and engaging storytelling.
Lucy has been recognized with several awards, including the Digital Female Leader Award, the EDITION F Award in the Economy category, and the Female Leader Award at Miss Germany 2025, where she became Vice Miss Germany 2025. She also serves as a jury member for Miss Germany, supporting and assessing women in their role as modern leaders.
Her mission is simple: to move people and organizations from friction to clarity — and to show that leadership today means creating orientation, trust and structures for a future that people actually want to build.
