As a coach, Christine supports clients in the realm of "Efficient Communication," helping improve mutual understanding and better relationships through the application of Max Lüscher's 4-Color Model. Her expertise also extends to topics such as setting priorities and boundaries through the power of saying "no," stress management, and improvisation in organizational studies using techniques from the renowned Lee Strasberg Institute in NYC.

Privately, Christine resides in Munich. She has a passion for sports, travel, the sea, and sunshine. In her role as a lecturer on regional knowledge and infotainment, she regularly travels on TUI Cruise's "Mein Schiff" and AIDA cruise ships. She spends her vacations with her children in her second home, Spain's Costa del Sol.

Born in Zurich and completing her Abitur (secondary school diploma) in Baden-Württemberg, Christine pursued her education in Munich before venturing out into the wide world. She worked as a junior assistant purser on the Island Princess, traveling nearly all around the globe. Following that, she spent almost three years in Caracas, Venezuela, as a guest relations manager for Starwood Hotels. Eventually, she returned to Munich and, after three years as an executive assistant at Arthur D. Little, took the leap into self-employment. The rest, as they say, is history recorded in the PLU company's story.

Susanna Castillo is the managing director of PLU Top Assistant GmbH and is particularly responsible for the CONTRACT & PERM department. As a business coach, she supports clients in the areas of New Work, agile collaboration, process optimization, personnel development, and change management.

Susanna has firsthand knowledge of the path from being an assistant to becoming a managing director, as she has successfully traversed this journey herself and shares her expertise through career coaching.

After completing her training as a foreign language correspondent in Würzburg, Susanna moved directly to Munich in 2008 to join PLU. There, she learned the business from the ground up and played a pivotal role in the early stages of the small startup.

In her personal life, Susanna enjoys spending time outdoors with her family (husband, daughter, and dog) in Munich, Spain, Greece, and with Grandma Elke.
