GET TO KNOW ME BETTER

Meet Dr. Kerstin

Hey, I’m Dr. Kerstin Brehm. Cardiac surgeon turned high-performance career mentor.

For over two decades, I thrived in high-stakes environments: first as a cardiac surgeon, then as a senior leader in Big4 consulting and international corporate. I’ve worked in the most intense, male-dominated industries, where resilience, precision, and leadership weren’t optional – they were the key to survival and success.

Early in my career, I learned that being the best at your job isn’t enough – visibility, negotiation, and career agility matter just as much as skill. I built my career by breaking barriers, navigating complexity, and creating opportunities where none existed. Now, I help ambitious professionals and corporate teams do the same.

Why work with me?

  • Senior leader in 3 high-stakes industries (cardiac surgery, Big4 consulting, international corporate)

  • I don’t teach theories – I teach battle-tested strategies that get results

  • Results-Driven Approach: My clients walk away with clear strategies, career confidence, and tangible wins.

I believe your career success isn’t about luck – it’s about strategy, action, and execution. Whether you’re an executive looking for the next move, a high-achiever tired of waiting for promotions, or a company that wants to build resilient leaders, I’ll help you cut through the noise and get real results.

Your career success isn´t a gamble – it’s a strategy. Let’s build yours.

"I have always had goals, but with Dr Brehm’s guidance, I now have a clearer path to achieve them. Learning how to effectively present myself and unlearning subconscious societal behaviors has been immensely game-changing to achieving my goals."

Working with Dr. Kerstin is Fast Competent Solution-oriented

The Misconception

You need to work harder and sacrifice everything to succeed.

The Reality

Success doesn’t have to come at the cost of your well-being. With the right strategies, you can achieve a thriving career while maintaining balance and health.

The Portfolio Career-Hype

A portfolio career is just about freelancing or juggling side gigs.

The Reality

A portfolio career isn’t just about freelancing - it’s about career security, flexibility, and multiple income streams. It’s a strategic approach to diversifying your professional identity, allowing you to mix consulting, leadership roles, corporate work, and passion projects. By embracing a portfolio career, you don’t just survive industry shifts - you thrive, designing a career that adapts to you, not the other way around.

Life isn’t about choosing just one right path—it’s about having it all, whatever that looks like for you.

I can and I will, end of story.
