Co-Founder and CEO | ootiboo, Germany/U.K.
In 2020, after a total of 13 years working for the prestigious Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Kathleen Schroeter left the world of scientific research institutions and became a technologist & alchemist at the Berlin “Human2Human” company J2C – Journey 2 Creation, a consulting firm with a focus on corporate culture. At the same time, Kathleen was elected to the board of XRBB – Extended Reality e.V. Berlin-Brandenburg, where she acts as honorary chair.
In November 2021 she founded ootiboo GmbH together with two colleagues from J2C and a longtime friend from the film industry. Using creativity as a vehicle, ootiboo designs fun, engaging ways for children to connect to a diverse range of topics. The focus is on three core areas: real-life learning; health and wellbeing; and eCo-awareness in the form of climate change and adaptation.
In 2018, the Advanced Imaging Society (AIS) honored her with the Distinguished Leadership Award in L.A. as one of 13 influential women from the entertainment and high-tech industry. As a public speaker and moderator, Kathleen’s insights into Deep and High Tech allow audiences to contextualize tech trends, deepen their understanding of R&D processes, and explore sci-fi scenarios that could soon become a reality.
