Carole Olinger
Culture & Recruitment Strategist – Yoast
In 2016, I took a four-year sabbatical from my job as a government administrator in Luxembourg to focus on my mental health. It was then that I discovered the WordPress community and found a new passion for WordCamp volunteering, organizing, and speaking, which encouraged me to start traveling the world. Along the way, I quickly became an advocate for positive mental health, diversity, and inclusion in tech.
Today, I am a Culture & Recruitment Strategist at Yoast, where I have found my passion for taking team culture and recruitment marketing to the next level. I also serve as the Head of CloudFest Hackathon, which enables open-source projects to reach new milestones at the leading conference for cloud computing.
In the past, I have held various roles at other WordPress companies, including a leading WebOps platform and a renowned WordPress agency.
Currently based in rural Germany with my husband and #BuffyTheDog, I find inspiration in the contrast and variety between quiet country life and adventurous travels around the world.
Besides advocating for diversity and inclusion in tech I am devoted to help breaking down the stigma surrounding mental health issues.
Additionally, I have a keen interest in learning and sharing about all topics related to remote, hybrid, and distributed work culture, as well as digital nomad lifestyle.

My working hours are in the following time zone: Europe/Berlin
My region is: Cologne, Germany
Topics I speak about include:
- Community
- Marketing
- Social Media
Language(s) I can present in:
