Elisabeth Prchla

As a coach, I guide leaders and organizations through personal and professional transformation processes—especially during times of career transitions or organizational change.

I bring a unique blend of experiences: seven years as a scientist, over two decades in international leadership roles in the biopharma and life sciences industries, and several years as a global Talent Head in a DAX-40 company.

In my leadership roles, I enabled outstanding business results and transformations by fostering a culture of ownership and collaboration within complex internal and external ecosystems.

My educational background is equally diverse, with a PhD in Biochemistry, an MBA, and a Master in Change from INSEAD. My professional journey took me to several countries — I have now settled back in my hometown Vienna, Austria, where I enjoy the cultural offerings and the wonderful nature in the surroundings.

What drives me is the desire to create real, human impact. In my coaching, I support leaders in rediscovering their vitality, acting with authenticity, and leading with clarity and compassion. I firmly believe that true change is possible—when personal insight meets the courage to grow.

This is a path I walk myself—every single day.

Seeds & Summits was founded by Elisabeth Prchla—but it is more than just a coaching offering. It is grounded in an attitude and supported by a growing network of people from a wide range of fields—from the visual arts to business to science. At its core are exchange, learning from one another, and looking beyond one’s own perspective. It is about viewing the world and its challenges from different angles and discovering new paths together.
