Jana Bulkin
Tech Navigator & Transformation Guide
My Mission & Passion
I’m Jana Bulkin—TechNavigator and Transformation Guide. My mission: to support companies and leaders in leveraging technology as a business enabler and shaping transformation in a holistic, sustainable, and values-driven way. For me, sustainable transformation means balancing values, impact, and growth—with an entrepreneurial mindset, clear accountability, and the courage to pioneer new approaches.
I live this mindset not only in my professional life: As a passionate skier, cyclist, sailor, and traveler, I love being active—preferably as part of a team. A special experience: my three-week trek across the Alps on foot from Munich to Venice. A clear vision, a flexible path. Sudden weather changes, detours, daily decisions—just like in any real transformation. You need clarity, a solid foundation, and the willingness to embrace change. Transformation is not a destination, but a journey—with attitude, direction, and adaptability.
