Maria is the founder of Octenticity and creator of the preventive mental health app octa-vita. After more than 15 years of working as an IT project manager, agile coach and facitilitator for new product development in the finance sector, she decided to dedicate her skills to Tech for Good. From her point of view mental health is a fundamental human right which should not be blocked because of a lack auf awareness & acceptance in our society, availability, or financial means. Consequently, she developped a 3Dframework which, based on a self-assessment, visualises your mental vitality in 8 different growth areas based. This provides you with a means of self-care and lowers the entry barriers to seek for professional help. On top the app supports regional, small NGOs which contribute to achieving the UN SDG. Maria‘s belief and the claim of her company: Change yourself and you change the world!
