Some random facts
Random Facts — Elke gets her energy from encountering new people, new cultures, new cities, new work challenges.
She only lets go her focus on innovation for her family, taking time out to enjoy her daughters Feline and Florence. She is really in her element when she can travel to her favorite places in the world: San Francisco, Cape Town, Kyoto and London. And what if Elke ever needs to still her mind? In that case, songs by Leonard Cohen and Pink Martini are her secret weapon.
