I’ve never been very fond of CVs. They like straight lines, tidy boxes, and clear beginnings and endings — none of which describe my life particularly well.
Still, I gave it a try. You’ll find a short profile below, and a longer version you can download here.
If you’re curious to know more about me beyond dates and bullet points, you might enjoy a detour: my Wikipedia page holds the factual bits, while my blog carries the stories, the questions, and the movement in between.

Profile
Ulrike Reinhard is a German social entrepreneur, connector, speaker, and author whose work moves between digital culture, social innovation, and grassroots transformation.
Her life has unfolded across very different worlds — from being a member of the German national basketball team to participating in the early culture of the internet, and later initiating a widely recognized grassroots project in rural India.
Rather than following a linear career path, she has built a body of work rooted in trust, long-term relationships, and lived experience across cultures and systems.
