About KAOS

KAOS stands for Katrin Ostermeier and also for chaos -
as a source of possibilities and potential.

KAOS is more than work to me — it’s a true passion. I bring heart, mind, and plenty of energy to what I do and gladly go the extra mile for my clients. That’s how creativity and enthusiasm come to life — and what I love to pass on.

Mutual respect and true partnership at eye level are essential to my work. For me, coaching is first and foremost a matter of attitude — not just a method. I see myself as a business coach, not a management consultant.

I work holistically, systemically, and tailor every process to fit the people and the context. Off-the-shelf concepts aren’t my style. Instead, I design workshops and development journeys individually and in close collaboration with my clients — because they are the experts on their own challenges.

My role as a business coach is to create the right space for growth, provide effective tools and methods, and bring in additional expertise from my network when it adds value.

Katrin Ostermeier

Business Coach. Team Coach. Mediator. Facilitator.
Organisational Developer.


Staying true to myself, acting from my own strength, walking my own path, and constantly reinventing myself — this is my own life philosophy. Both personally and professionally.

My career began in 2004 as a political scientist at the European Parliament in Brussels, followed by several years in the international finance industry in London. This is how I have worked within a variety of organisational structures — in the public and private sector, in Germany, Belgium and the UK.

In 2014, I founded KAOS with one clear goal: to encourage people, teams, and organisations to see apparent chaos as an opportunity, to open up to new perspectives, and to move into the future with optimism.

Continuous learning is a cornerstone of my professional identity and a key part of the quality and depth I bring to my work as a business coach.

QUALIFICATIONS (selection):
M.A. Political Science, European Law & Modern History

PROFILE

Partner Network

The complex challenges of today’s working world call for diversity — different expertise, approaches, methods, perspectives, and sometimes even different personalities. That’s why I collaborate with a network of skilled colleagues, each bringing their own focus and rich experience.

Through this partnership, we can shape projects flexibly and precisely around our clients’ needs — creating real impact and meaningful value. Because sometimes 1+1 can be so much more than 2!
