Fourteen years at the intersection of performance, wellbeing, and transformation
HPI was developed by Juliane Nitsche and Michel Moutier, practitioners who built their careers at the place where organizational strategy meets the human cost of carrying it out.
MLC Advisory traces back to 2012, when Michel founded an independent consulting practice in Paris, alongside Juliane's practitioner research into how people sustain performance under pressure. The two joined forces in Luxembourg in 2017, pairing that research with hands-on delivery for organizations across Europe. In 2021, the firm's Resilience Skills program won the HR Award for Learning & Development. Fourteen years on, that same grounding in real-world practice is what every engagement is still measured against.
Juliane Nitsche — fourteen years at the intersection of performance, wellbeing, and organizational effectiveness, with the conviction that sustainable high performance cannot exist without the right human conditions.
B.Sc. from the University of Passau, specializing in Intercultural Management. Certifications in Positive Psychology, Resilience, and Mindfulness for Peak Performance from the University of Pennsylvania and practitioner institutions.
Her 8-week Resilience Skills program was selected by the US headquarters of a global FinTech and received the Luxembourg Learning and Development Award. She developed Human Performance Intelligence as a framework explaining how performance emerges, degrades, and can be sustained in AI-driven work.
Michel Moutier — graduated from NEOMA Business School and spent the early part of his career in FMCG before moving into consulting at PA Consulting Group for ten years. Later served as VP of Strategy for an American web agency.
Founded his own consulting practice in Paris in 2012 and moved to Luxembourg in 2017, working with organizations from SMEs to multinationals across private and public sectors. Trained in Mindfulness at Work at Oxford and in CBT and MBCT with Harvard Medical School.
HPI is the research framework. MLC Advisory is the applied delivery arm.
HPI began as Juliane's practitioner research into why some teams sustain high performance under real pressure while others burn out. Fourteen years of fieldwork across industries and geographies shaped that research into Human Performance Intelligence, the framework MLC Advisory now applies with every client. Both entities are led by Juliane and Michel directly.
