Overview
- On July 22, 2025, Schlesinger began her role at Stella Circle, advising executives on crisis communication, resilience building and public expectation management.
- Stella Circle cited her decades of leadership in public broadcasting and her expertise in media, public institution management and communication.
- Last week, the Berlin Regional Court provisionally ordered RBB to pay her around €18,400 in Ruhegeld and ruled she must pay undisclosed damages, with both sides filing appeals.
- The Berlin Generalstaatsanwaltschaft is still investigating her for breach of trust and accepting benefits linked to the 2022 RBB nepotism and waste scandal.
- Her transition underscores a shift from public broadcasting scrutiny to private consultancy where she plans to apply lessons from her RBB tenure to corporate crises.
