About Andrea

Quiet power. Clear direction. Regeneration by design.

I help leaders and teams build systems that replenish, not deplete—grounded in behavioural science, regenerative strategy, and practical, human insight.

Hi, I’m Andrea Born-Cristancho—regenerative leadership strategist, behavior-change advocate, and co-founder of Born Partners GmbH.

My work began with a question that changed everything:
What if leaders could create greater impact… with less exhaustion?

After a decade of research and global experience, I learned that the health of an organization mirrors the health of its people. When leaders nourish themselves and their teams, they make better decisions, innovate more naturally, and build cultures that last.

My Philosophy

Regeneration isn’t abstract—it’s both a system and a state.
It shows up in how we work, collaborate, cook, rest, create, and lead.

Through the Planetary Health Diet and behavior-change science, I help working parents and team leaders translate care into performance and sustainability into strategy.

What I Bring

Master’s background in regenerative food systems
Certifications in integrative nutrition & regenerative leadership
Entrepreneurial experience across Shanghai, Johannesburg, and Basel
Programs that reduce burnout and enhance engagement
A communication style grounded in calm clarity and precise insight

What I Believe

Growth should feel human.
Leadership should feel lighter.
And performance should replenish—not deplete.
