Your Experienced Partner in Times of Change
I’m Dagmar Chlosta.
With more than 30 years of leadership experience in global organisations — from sporting goods to cosmetics — I bring the kind of lived insight that enables meaningful and lasting change.
I have guided companies not only through complexity and pressure, but also toward long‑term strength. My roles at brands such as adidas, Faber‑Castell and Schwan Cosmetics have taught me what truly matters when organisations need clarity and direction.
With Connect.Gen Advisory, I support leaders and their teams in realising their full potential in a world that is constantly shifting. My aim is to help mid‑sized organisations become resilient, future‑ready and grounded in clarity.
My Approach
I work closely with you to develop solutions that fit your organisation.
My approach is grounded in clear principles that ensure your transformation becomes real and lasting.

01
We Implement - Together
I am not an advisor who simply delivers recommendations. I work alongside you and help ensure that strategies translate into everyday practice — consistently and sustainably.
02
People & Culture
Success depends on people.
I strengthen your organisational culture and support the development of leaders so your organisation grows from within.
03
We Stay Until It Lasts
My work does not end with a report.
I stay with you until the changes take root and your success is firmly anchored and sustainable.
Clear Boundaries For Our Partnership
I am not the right partner for you if you are looking for:
Short-Term Fixes
Meaningful realignment takes time. My approach is built for sustainable change, not quick or superficial corrections.
Confirmation instead of Honest Insights
I offer a truthful, grounded analysis — including the courage to question existing assumptions in order to find the right solutions for your organisation.
Pure Cost-Cutting
My focus is on growth, clarity and long‑term value creation — not financial engineering or workforce reduction.
No Willingness for Change
Transformation requires courage, openness and the readiness to address difficult questions and challenge core beliefs about how the business operates.
No available Resources
Lasting change needs time, attention from the leadership team and the capacity to support the process.
My Commitment & Principles

Discretion & Trust
Absolute confidentiality is fundamental. Your sensitive information, conversations and strategies remain fully protected.

Honesty & Clarity
I tell you what you need to hear — not what is convenient. Open, grounded dialogue is what enables real progress.

Humanity
Transformation is about people. I pay close attention to the concerns, strengths and potential of every individual involved.
