Sina Alessa Kraus is an academic and practitioner curious about the complexities of human experience and behavior coupled with a commitment to fostering better understanding among individuals at work and beyond.

In her research, she focuses on topics related to diversity, equity, and inclusion, intercultural management, as well as international human resource management. She has published her work in the Journal of World Business and the Academy of Management Proceedings, and presented her research at several conferences, such as the Global Conference on International Human Resource Management and the Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management. She also supervises theses about topics related to her research interests.

As a lecturer for personal and social skills at S-Next, she understands her role in three ways: a) as a lecturer who imparts theoretical insights, b) as a facilitator who creates space for exchange and discussion, and c) as a mentor who supports her students on their learning journey. Accordingly, she combines her theoretical knowledge with her own experience as a learner and as a teacher to create practically relevant classroom experiences. At ESCP Business School, she also teaches classes on intercultural management, leadership, and international human resource management.

With a background in social and organizational psychology, Sina holds certifications as a mediator for professional conflict resolution, as an intercultural trainer, and as a systemic consultant.
