Head of Strategic Planning at Ashoka Europe | Austria

Besides her great love for Manner waffles, Karin Haselböck is really passionate about creating a world where everyone is empowered to live a good life. For her, diversity, equity, and inclusion are crucial to contribute to the change for the good of all. Karin is Ashoka Europe Leadership Team Member and 100% shares Ashoka’s vision “everyone a changemaker”. She thinks that each one of us can build up the changemaking muscles needed to thrive in the economy of the future and that we need cities which enable all of us to master today’s pace of change. Karin emphasises that we first need to understand the rapid innovation that is shaping our economy to successfully improve our cities. This new game we’re playing demands new skills, and her work at Ashoka is making sure that our society gets there.
