Florian Brody

I’m a certified executive leadership coach and seasoned international business strategist. I work with individuals and corporate clients worldwide, supporting them in finding the next step in their lives and their career. As a marketing strategist and operations executive, I work with founders and entrepreneurs and as well as executives to develop their product and go-to-market strategies.

I was born, raised, and cultivated in Vienna, Austria, and have worked in a wide range of fields, developing a skill set that integrates science, art & tech, design, as well as mindful coaching and business development. This background allows me to combine art and technology into new experiences for body, speech, and mind. I’m certified as an Integral Coach® from New Ventures West, an EMCC Accredited Coach and Mentor at Senior Practitioner level and I hold a Professional Coaching Certification (PCC) from the International Coach Federation (ICF). I coach and mentor in English and German. I’m also a certified mentor coach.

Since 1988 I have been teaching at universities in Europe and the US and held the Chair for Multimedia Studies at the University of Applied Sciences in Salzburg. Currently, I teach Digital Business Management at the Johannes Kepler University in Linz, Austria, and the Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences, Germany. In spring 2023 I will also teach at the University of California, Berkeley.

As past Vice President of the International Coaching Federation San Francisco Bay Area Chapter, I worked with coaches to develop their professional presence. My Zen practice for over 30 years has supported me in my work as a coach and an executive mentor. I’m a Co-Chair for media and entertainment at the German American Business Association GABA, and founding president of ASCINA, the Association of Austrian Scientists in North America. As a speaker, I am comfortable speaking in front of five and 5000 people on a wide range of inspirational and professional topics, and my work is published in multiple languages. I currently study with my Zen teachers Marc Lesser, and Bernd Bender, and advanced coaching methods at Aletheia, the School for Unfoldment.
