Yolande Schulz Helping professionals lead with clarity, wellness & real resilience Regional R&D Director | Women in STEM Advocate | Toolkit Creator | Storyteller I’m a senior leader in the Fast Moving Consumable Goods industry, passionate about building leadership that lasts, especially for women navigating complex roles in STEM, operations, and emerging markets. Most of what we call “growth” skips the hard parts: burnout, boundaries, identity shifts. I don’t. I bring 20+ years of real-world leadership and personal reinvention to the table — and I turn those lessons into tools people can actually use. What I bring: • Practical experience leading diverse teams and building innovation pipelines across Africa • Thought leadership in emotional resilience, quiet power, and women’s career wellness • Branded toolkits & self-reflection frameworks for real career growth (not recycled advice) • A unique voice from inside corporate life — not just around it What I’m open to: • Collaborating on toolkits, mentorship programs, or wellness-based leadership models • Speaking about burnout recovery, self-led career planning, and boundary-setting at work • Supporting women in STEM and emerging markets to grow without waiting to be picked • Meaningful peer connections that value story, strategy, and shared humanity If you’re building something that helps people grow without losing themselves…I’m listening!
