Über Ann-Kathrin Heinemann-Becker

“Giving people freedom with accountability” is what Ann-Kathrin Heinemann-Becker stands for and what she deeply believes in for Atlas Copco Group AB to flourish innovational power. As VP People she is leading the Global People Strategy and ensuring that the right structure, processes and culture is in place to attract, retain and grow people. It is the Swedish culture that inspires Ann-Kathrin and kept her in the Atlas Copco Group for more than 14 years. It is the mindset that people will take own responsibility if we trust them to do so. It is about learning and trying out new things. It is about modesty and flat hierarchies, inviting everybody to the table. This is why Diversity and Inclusion matters a lot to her and she sponsors a global network. Having gained wide and global experiences in different Divisions, she is fascinated by the power of culture and why people can make a difference – seeing it specifically through the eyes of a post-merger integration. She holds a master’s degree in International Management from University Erlangen-Nuremberg and has worked and studied in Italy. She is certified Systemic Coach and Change Manager and has a passion for supporting start-up companies.
