Nina Bomberg

Chief Procurement Officer Hamburger Energiewerke
Multilingual and interested in cultures and change I have a passion for bringing people together. As an advocate of lifelong learning, I consider it crucial for personal and organisational development. On that note, I share my knowledge at various speaking appointments around the topics of change management, talent retention, working with different generations, as well as digitalisation and agility in procurement. I am a certified systemic personal and business coach, which I use to support people inside and outside of my organisation in their personal and team growth. Having worked in industries ranging from trade to automotive spanning from China to the United States I spent my professional career in purchasing. I have built a track record as a leader in stakeholder engagement and solving communication and awareness problems, as well as in enabling change. I hold a degree in European Business in addition to an Executive MBA in International Business, during which I had the chance to expand my intercultural, interdisciplinary and inter-industry experiences across various continents.
