Recommendations
“It is a great pleasure to work with Nina. She is persistent and focused on results whilst navigating complex organisational and interpersonal systems. Doing a project with Nina means you will get it done with high quality and on time.”
BARBARA WEBER
PROGRAMME DIRECTOR, AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL
“Having worked with Nina in the last two years as a consultant, I have benefitted from her professionalism, organisational and campaign wisdom and her personal skills. She helped me to see a complex problem from different points of views and to find a solution to it. Her wide variety of tools, and the way she integrates experiencing nature into organisational development are both impressive. No matter how complex your challenge is, Nina can always enable you to see the big picture, to imagine a better future and to find the first crucial steps to make it happen.”
VIRAG KAUFER
CAMPAIGN STRATEGIST, GREENPEACE EUROPEAN COLLABORATION
“Nina was instrumental in helping Bankwatch put together an effective approach to tackling a number of important strategic questions. We are a diverse, independently minded group and Nina guided us through some challenging terrain using a variety of engaging, effective tools. Very happy to have had her assistance.”
MARK MARTIN
Executive Director CEE Bankwatch Network
“Nina gave our team a training on developing advocacy strategies, and it was a success. Her no-nonsense approach to it, going step by step through the entire process, mixed with her rich experience was very helpful, and for some team members even an eye opener. I can highly recommend her!”
MONICA VERBEEK
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AT SEAS AT RISK
“Nina Thüllen has been instrumental in helping us achieve significant stability during a period of turbulence, leveraging her diverse skill set, extensive knowledge and systemic attitude. She was a trainer, supervisor and strategist for us. Her great clarity gave the team structure until a new management was hired. We look forward to future projects.”
JÖRG ROHWEDDER
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOODWATCH INTERNATIONAL
“Nina helped us develop our strategy for implementing the SDGs in Austria. As part of a perfectly organized workshop, we managed to build the framework of our strategy within a day. The targeted and highly professional preparation and follow-up was one of the success factors. Nina found the right method for every question and adapted it flexibly to the situation. Her great campaigning experience was clearly noticeable in every situation which was of great use to us. ÖKOBÜRO will continue to work with Nina. I also recommend it to anyone facing similar challenges.”
THOMAS ALGE
Managing director of Ökobüro, the Alliance of the Austrian Environmental Movement
“Nina helped us as a facilitator to discuss our campaign strategy and plans and brought her extensive campaign experience and creativity to the planning and implementation of the workshops. Her constructive approach, spontaneity and analytical eye helped us move forward. Meanwhile she managed to create a trusting and diverse group atmosphere even in online meetings.”
VERENA GÜNTHER
Verena Günther, European Campaign Coordinator Good Food Good Farming
“I have known Nina for 20 years. I saw her brilliant coordination, campaigning and leadership skills when we worked in different offices in Greenpeace, especially while she was managing the EU fisheries work. After she became a freelancer, she collaborated frequently with my current organisation (Europe Beyond Coal, later Beyond Fossil Fuels), where we entrusted her with the facilitation of complex, multistakeholder meetings. Nina has performed trainings and offered organisational advice to us. Nina is knowledgeable, structured, empathetic, reliable and strategic.”
MAHI SIDERIDOU
MANAGING DIRECTOR BEYOND FOSSIL FUELS
“Nina supported us as a team and organisation during a challenging phase of upheaval and (re)discovery. With her sharp eye, her many years of non-profit experience and her structured, participative approach, she was instrumental in helping us to clarify roles and expectations within the team and develop a common direction. Working with her has contributed significantly to the fact that we now communicate more clearly, work together more constructively and have emerged stronger as an organisation. An unreserved recommendation for teams and organisations that want to sustainably shape change with professional support.”
INDRA KLEY

From the rigorous and inspired preparation, charismatic delivery and thorough evaluation, all the experiences in working with her were highly professional, efficient and inspiring; her sensitivity, passion and hard work are remarkable and I can highly recommend working with her for team, idea and project development.”

“How do you draw up an impactful organisational strategy, and get everyone in your team to like it and live it? For important change processes, the quality of the consultants, facilitators and trainers is critical to me.
Nina is now my first choice. She knows how to listen, reflect, and challenge. Her experience is reassuring, and her creative facilitation skills inspire.”
