Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolVictoria Wenzelmann is a research associate and innovation practitioner with over a decade of experience at the intersection of social-digital innovation, distributed manufacturing, and critical making. She has led and advised projects worldwide—from mobilizing mobile makerspaces for Ukrainian communities via the Tolocar initiative to co-founding the Global Innovation Gathering, a network spanning 30+ countries. Her background blends systemic organizational consulting, agile coaching, and academic research, enabling her to translate grassroots inventiveness into fundable, scalable programs. Victoria also communicates ideas broadly as the weekly columnist behind AppDate for Frankfurter Rundschau, revealing a knack for making complex tech-social topics accessible. She’s equally comfortable running team-level change processes as she is designing participatory labs and learning spaces, and often bridges academic rigor with hands-on implementation. A lesser-known strength is her track record in connecting donor-funded research with on-the-ground makerspace practice, turning policy and proposals into tangible community tools.
