Dominique Meyers is an innovation project manager, trainer and coach at UMIO, the executive branch of Maastricht University.
Dominique got inspired to go in this direction through her background in psychology where she realised that having a human-centred focus in business is key. Therefore, when gaining her first experience in design thinking, she was convinced that this way of working, in which co-creation, human-centricity and empathic research are leading, is the future and could help organisations flourish beyond their wildest dreams. She was hooked to it and never looked back.
Dominique is an experienced innovation project manager, working with multidisciplinary project teams of students, company representatives and experts to design innovative solutions to business challenges for clients using the Design Thinking methodology. Additionally, she lectures in various national and international MBA programmes and executive programmes at Maastricht University on topics such as design thinking, innovation, entrepreneurship, creativity and storytelling. She also coaches with expertise in different domains, such as innovation, executive and team dynamics coaching.
Dominique has obtained a master’s degree in psychology at Maastricht University and obtained various coaching degrees.
