About us
The WeMaCo team introduces itself
We want to shape the future through urban and personal transformation
For us, a liveable, sustainable city means that all living beings have a healthy, beautiful and safe environment. Therein exists a natural abundance within the planetary boundaries. The city of the future is a regenerative ecosystem – as lively and creative as a primeval forest. People love themselves, really live their lives and are deeply connected to their fellow world.
This vision motivates us in our daily work and forms the basis of our mission. Our team works towards such a world in a value-based way, together with our strong partners.

Our team
introduces itself
Cathérine Lehmann
Cathérine supports organisational clients in sustainability management issues. Her focus is on the development and implementation of municipal sustainability strategies. Therefore, she consults political decision-makers, administrations and other actors in urban development. She guides through strategy processes, develops concepts and imparts sustainability knowledge through workshops, trainings and speeches. Her competencies include the cross-sectoral and integrated application of sustainability approaches in the municipal sector.
Cathérine studied Business Administration at the University of Mannheim with a specialisation in nonprofit management. She completed her Master of Science in International Sustainability Management at ESCP. In her thesis, she investigated the level of knowledge and attitudes of the staff of the German Environment Agency towards alternative economic concepts. In addition, she acquired the political management certificate of the Heinrich Böll Foundation and dealt intensively with local political processes.
Cathérine gained practical experience in sustainability and CR consulting, social entrepreneurship and project management as well as in active environmental, nature and climate protection. She has conducted research at the Technical University (TU) Berlin and at the Institute for Ecological Economy Research (IÖW) on societal socio-ecological transformation processes, civic engagement and participation, sustainable consumption and digitalisation, the food transition and alternative economic and social models, among other topics.
In her private life, she is politically and civically active, blogs about sustainability on her own blog, among other things, and deals with communication, psychology and personal and organisational development. Cathérine speaks German, English, Spanish and French.

Cathérine Lehmann (she/her)
Consulting
Cathérine Lehmann is a dedicated sustainability expert with experience in project management, consulting, research and social entrepreneurship. She is committed to creating sustainable cities with a high quality of life for all inhabitants. Cathérine distinguishes herself by acting with head, hand and heart: she is a strategic-analytical thinker with a quick grasp, with organisational talent and drive. As an empathic team player, networker and leader, she is passionate about the step-by-step realisation of a more sustainable world.
Daniela Sander-Lehmann
Daniela supports people who reach limits in their lives that they cannot overcome on their own at that moment. For this, she completed a series of further training courses after her coaching training. Whether it is individual coaching or a goal-setting process for teams, she finds a solution for everything. Her coaching approach is characterised by systemic coaching, elements from neurolinguistic programming and “The Work” by Byron Katie.
Daniela worked in the financial sector after completing her banking apprenticeship and studies and held a managerial position with leadership responsibility before becoming self-employed. Since 2016 she has been self-employed in the fields of counselling, coaching and mental training. The current restructuring of the company to focus on sustainability is done out of personal conviction: We must mobilise our forces together to contribute to a better world worth living in. We often get resistance for this and therefore she sees it as her task to be a problem solver.
If you are active in the sustainability community – be it privately or professionally – it is a decisive advantage if you have clarity for your values, a vision and goals. Then you can communicate your wishes and needs clearly and confidently with self-confidence and steadfastness.
In addition to her commitment to sustainability, Daniela volunteers as a trained clown. She is engaged for people with impairments and brings fun and joy to hospitals and care facilities.
