Henriette Brune

Henriette Brune is Chief of Staff at FINN, one of Germany’s fastest-growing mobility startups. In her role, she works at the intersection of technology, business strategy, and organizational design, driving initiatives that accelerate innovation, scale tech effectiveness, and unlock hidden business value. Her path into tech leadership wasn’t traditional: starting her career in HR, Henriette now partners closely with FINN’s CTO and engineering leadership. This cross-disciplinary background allows her to connect dots that are often siloed, linking engineering, product, and business departments to deliver measurable impact. At FINN, she has led projects such as the capitalization of R&D efforts and designing innovation frameworks that helped the company move quickly on frontier technologies like Agentic AI. She is passionate about transforming tech organizations from “cost centers” into profit multipliers, and about building structures where ambitious goals, fast iteration, and even failure become catalysts for growth. Henriette speaks on automation, innovation, and organizational scaling, sharing practical playbooks for leaders who want to combine speed with resilience in fast-moving industries.
