About Katja Diehl
Katja Diehl is a German mobility expert, bestselling author and one of Europe’s leading voices for climate- and socially just transport systems.
With 25 years of leadership experience across communication, marketing and mobility organisations, Katja brings both strategic depth and a strong sense of purpose to the mobility transition. Her mission is clear: climate- and socially just mobility for everyone, now. As the founder of She Drives Mobility, she develops concepts and narratives that put people at the centre of mobility, not motors.
Katja combines expertise with a passion for transformation. She is the author of the bestselling book Autokorrektur, which received the Readers’ Prize of the German Business Book Award, a podcaster with more than 150 episodes, and a keynote speaker who has appeared on over 200 stages. Her work translates complex debates into accessible, human stories that inspire change.
What drives her is the conviction that mobility can unite quality of life, participation and climate action. That we do not have to choose between comfort and responsibility. And that intersectional perspectives in mobility are not optional, but essential.
Based in Hamburg, Katja is recognised as a Remarkable Woman in European Transport, a LinkedIn Top Voice, and a trusted advisor, board member and consultant to numerous mobility networks and initiatives across Europe.
