Daniela Landherr – Founder and CEO, The Human Space
“Why the Future of Business Belongs to Leaders Who Build Trust, Not Fear”

In an age of AI disruption and shifting workplace expectations, most companies obsess over technology. Daniela Landherr obsesses over something else: trust.
As founder & CEO of The Human Space, Daniela partners with Fortune 500 leaders and high-growth organizations to redesign culture as a strategic advantage. Her mission is bold: replace outdated management models with ecosystems of trust—workplaces where people feel safe to speak up, experiment, and innovate without fear.
The impact is undeniable. As the former Head of Talent Engagement at Google (EMEA), Daniela witnessed how trust powered collaboration across teams and borders.
With an Executive Master in Change from INSEAD and executive training at Stanford Graduate School of Business, she blends global leadership expertise with real-world application. Today, she coaches at ETH Zurich and the University of St. Gallen, equipping executives to lead in the most disruptive business era in history.

For Daniela, the future of business won’t be written by the companies with the best tech— but by the leaders courageous enough to put people first.
