About the
Departure Project

The Departure Project is a lean expert collective created by digital transformation advisor Tina Spießmacher. We are dedicated to solving complex challenges in big and small organizations. We cut through the noise, initiate impactful action plans, get a positive flow started and empower your team to run the show long-term. 

Head and heart of Departure:
Tina Spießmacher

Tina is known for her exceptional ability to declutter and streamline even the most complex of challenges. Business partners value her for her clarity, decisiveness and result-driven mindset: Whenever you are in a tricky situation and think: „I better call in the special forces“ – call Tina. 
To amplify her impact, she has created the Departure Project – a collective of skilled experts who join her whenever a job demands it. Together, they have made it their mission to help organizations in their digital transformation by overcoming the most decisive roadblocks and getting everybody on board for take-off. 

Over many years, Tina developed her creative problem solving skills in a variety of different roles. She has worked with over 50 organizations and leaders, launching and iterating even more business strategies, organizational models and digital products. Her journey includes positions as innovation and trend researcher, strategy director in one of Germany’s top digital agencies, co-founder and CPTO of a commerce company as well as demanding interim leadership roles in corporates  and startups.
She knows success but also struggle, having experienced a failed entrepreneurial project – an experience that made her an even more well-rounded, resilient leader. 

Her commitment to transformation and adaptability extends to her personal life, too. As she draws energy and inspiration from different environments, Tina enjoys moving from place to place. Meet her for lunch in Hamburg, for drinks in Stuttgart, or in Lisbon to discuss your Departure Project over galão and pastels de nata. After all, there’s nothing like a change of scenery to kick-off the transformational journey of your company.
