Stories that matter.
Told with soul.
Where purpose speaks.
When topics become complex, when it’s not about superficiality, but about meaning – to harmonize people, content and impact. It needs understanding, presence, and the courage to take a closer look. I am not only a presenter and producer, but also a communicator with purpose. I tell stories that are understood and felt. Whether on stage or behind the camera, my focus is on what matters: bringing people, content, and impact into harmony.
Two roles.
One advantage.
Effective communication – in front of and behind the camera. For people and projects that need substance.
One partner. Two worlds.
For me, there is no “either/or.” I think in terms of content and processes. In dramaturgy and logistics. In impact and reality. As a presenter and producer, I connect both worlds – in front of and behind the camera.
Substance over surface.
Whether it's health, technology, or society – I love topics with substance. That's why I dig deeper. The result isn't small talk, but conversations that fascinate. That make you think. That grab you. And that give your audience more than just information.
International reach. Local depth.
Based in Vienna, available worldwide. I moderate in German and English and support international productions as a local partner in Austria and Europe.

Core Topics
These topics are not a coincidence. They run through my work because they affect people, carry responsibility, and deserve genuine discussion.
Health, Age
& Dignity
Talking about life – until the very end. With respect, clarity, and without taboos.
Social change
& social innovation
Change begins in conversations. When people listen to each other.
Sustainability
& Future
The future emerges when we ask the right questions.
Mental Health
& Wellbeing
Making inner worlds visible. And talking about them without simplifying them.

Why me?
Collaboration should not be complicated. It should create clarity, reduce responsibility, and deliver results.
Attitude instead of processing.
I get involved in projects because I understand the idea behind them. This noticeably changes decisions, tone, and the outcome.
Authentic communication.
I don't translate messages. I help to anchor them. Those who work with me gain a partner who understands their mission and communicates it credibly to the outside world.
Safe when it comes to sensitive topics.
Health, change, responsibility: complex topics require depth and respect. I give these topics the space and language they deserve.
Content that counts.
Your topic is not only presented, but taken seriously. The result: people go home moved. Partners still talk about it weeks later. And clients book again.

Carola Wachholder
I am a presenter, producer, and – at heart – a storyteller. What drives me? The conviction that every topic deserves to be told with depth and humanity. Whether on stage in front of thousands or in an intimate film interview, I create spaces for real conversations. Topics at the intersection of people and meaning are particularly close to my heart: health, dignity, social change. Making complex issues understandable and accessible is my passion. My work thrives on responsibility. For content. For people. For impact.
