Let’s shape this together.
I support CEOs, Owners and Boards of SMEs and mid-market businesses during critical times of change: Digital and AI Transformations, Leadership Transitions and high-stakes projects. I come in when things don’t move and you don’t know why – or maybe you do, but you can’t address it.
Together, we navigate the extra layers and connect strategy, technology, governance and leadership. Moving out of the doubt- and hesitance-phase and into effectiveness and results comes from an alignment that allows clear decisions, responsible leadership and the governance that supports it.
Over 20 years’ experience in business, technology and legal leadership and organisational transformation from corporate to start-up shape my perspective on business environments, interdependencies and decision-making – especially in the context of new technologies and in times of leadership transitions.
I have led international organisations and teams through growth, restructuring, transformation and organisational complexity, and managed complex business relationships and transactions. I experienced the challenges of leadership first-hand, including what it takes to set direction, make difficult decisions and carry them through.
All of this has taught me the importance of a fine-tuned alignment between strategy, structures and people, and gave me a sharp view and a holistic perspective on business structures needed to move forward with clarity and effectiveness.
With my background as technology lawyer, negotiator, mediator, strategist and leader across multinational and entrepreneurial settings, I know first-hand what responsibility at the front-line means.
I have led projects and secured high-volume contract renewals where revenue up to nine-figures was at stake. I re-engineered executive governance and delivery oversight in large digital transformations. I worked with executives and leaders during and after international mergers to set their direction, align strategy and goals and achieve their milestones.
I combine commercial judgment, legal expertise and a deep understanding of people. I help leadership teams find common ground, agree on direction and priorities, make sound decisions, and translate them into clear responsibilities and practical steps – especially in critical, sometimes deadlocked situations.
To add another layer, I also work as mental trainer for snow sports athletes and ski instructor, which sharpens my perspective on focus, resilience and high performance under pressure, wins and losses, failure and comebacks.
I have a broad international experience, lived in several countries across Europe, worked with companies of all sizes, developed a varied career and took each challenge as a chance – an approach that has helped me through major changes, big transformations and difficult transitions until today.
I’m your strategic partner who is out on the field with you, not just standing on the sidelines. We define the most useful role, before we start working together:
I take on leadership myself in an interim or fractional role, if that is what is most needed. Sometimes, it’s more helpful to act as a sparring partner and keep the outside view.
In any case, I’m offering clear guidance, open communication and a commitment to uncover the opportunities that major disruptions and times of transition provide.
I’m not a consultant who delivers concepts in a polished presentation and leaves the room. I take on responsibility and work alongside you within the system – with operational experience, a strategic perspective, and an instinct for what is really happening behind the figures.
My work begins where change is the trigger, strategy is just the beginning and structure alone is no longer enough: in critical moments when decision-making stalls, the current business model needs some questions, conversations are in a dead end, or leadership needs to be redefined.
My work is solution-oriented and focuses on practical execution and implementation, not just theory.
It’s grounded in my analytical thinking, strategic and structured in my approach, and closely aligned with the realities of the business.
At the same time, it is human-centred. Especially in this digital era, people are still your company’s most valuable asset and the ones enabling the change and growth you want to achieve. Without your leadership team and employees, no transition is going to succeed.
I think long-term to enable sustainable and responsible growth.
My work is values-based and systemic, as I firmly believe that all areas of our company are interconnected and tech only works if it is an integral part of it.
What I offer is not a fix programme. It is a mandate, tailored to what your situation actually requires.
I’m a very human-centered and value-driven person and convinced that people and businesses have an enormous potential, which we can reveal especially in times of change.
I combine commercial judgment, legal expertise and a deep understanding of people. I bring analytical thinking, strategic insight and a sound understanding of entrepreneurship with an instinct for what lies beneath the surface.
I see complexity and change in whatever form as a real opportunity, provided we think beyond silos and stay open to innovation and creativity.
I’m strong in breaking down complexity, connecting dots, revealing misalignment, strengthening key relationships, and creating consistency in the messiness.
I address what needs to be addressed. I quickly get to the heart of an issue and see structural misalignment as well as conflicting interests, unspoken concerns or obstacles that keep people and organisations from moving forward, especially when stakes are high and situations critical.
Integrity, kindness, respect, trust and excellence matter to me, and my work is built on these values.
