This is the visionary to whom 1000plus and the international counseling services of Profemina owe their existence. This founder and CEO of 1000plus-Profemina gGmbH (German NPO). is driven by one concern: "How can we collectively provide pregnant women in need with the best information, counseling, and assistance possible?" What motivates this political scientist every day anew is his passion for empowering women facing unintended pregnancies to make a decision they will take pride in for the rest of their lives — and his joy over every baby that is born thanks to 1000plus. He makes the impossible possible for the sake of creating a culture of life. “Can't” is not part of his vocabulary! 

Dr. Arnold, who holds a doctorate in theology, shares the management responsibilities of 1000plus-Profemina gGmbH (German NPO) with Kristijan Aufiero. He tirelessly advocates for the continuous expansion of 1000plus: "I believe that the most crucial task of our generation is providing information, counseling, and practical support for pregnant women in need so that decisions for life are made possible. That's why I am committed to 1000plus." 

Monika Aufiero is 1000plus's Director of Administration. As the chief accounting officer, she oversees all processes related to organization, donation accounting, and personnel. 

Katharina von Degenfeld is the International Director of Donor Relations concerning all countries in which 1000plus has a national office. Her area of responsibility is to provide opportunities for all 1000plus supporters to participate in creating a culture of life: "It is my joy and a privilege to interact daily with people who care deeply about pregnant women in need.  Their active support of this cause allows countless babies to see the light of day! I am moved by their trust, generosity, and the force of their compassion. I consider all 1000plus supporters to be true heroes!" 

"Pregnant women facing challenging situations deserve the best digital counseling service we can possibly provide," says Matthias Jean-Marie Schäppi, Director of Digital Counseling at Profemina. A German scholar with a passion for media and organizational talent, Schäppi has already implemented numerous digital projects since joining 1000plus in 2016. "I am incredibly thankful that so many pregnant women in need are using our services to receive information, counseling, and assistance. Using my talents to help others choose life—that's my absolute dream job!" 

As Profemina’s Assistant Director of Digital Counseling, Paula von Ketteler coordinates the expansion of counseling services in additional languages as well as furthering international collaborations. As a trained theologian, she is thrilled by this opportunity to help an increasing number of pregnant women in need: "It all becomes worth it when — after months of tedious translation work, we are able to launch our digital counseling services in yet another language — and nine months later, you hear of a '1000plus baby' born on the other side of the world. At 1000plus, there is never a dull moment, and every day we find purpose in our labor. We want to see more and more women receive 'SUPPORT instead of abortions' in ever more languages and countries!"
