    About Me

    In over 20 years of strategic and operational leadership—from dynamic start-ups through mid-market companies to global corporations—I have learned one fundamental lesson: The most brilliant strategy and the sharpest commercial approaches are worthless if they don't reach people. In a world rapidly transformed by AI, technology for me is never an end in itself, but rather the decisive lever for unlocking human potential. In dynamic VC environments, I prioritize radical execution over complex documentation. I don't build castles in the air—I build validated GTM engines that scale from day one.

    I combine the analytical precision of the private equity environment with experience from roles as CEO and Managing Director in scale-ups and SMEs, where I have scaled organizations to up to 300 employees. My focus is always on sustainable EBITDA growth. Real change, for me, happens at the intersection where operational excellence meets motivated teams.

    My approach to your transformation and value creation: I understand operationalizable strategies, the courage to focus, and efficient, AI-native processes as the central value levers of any organization. And the guiding principle is "Humans in the Driver's Seat": AI transformation doesn't mean 'replacing'—it means 'empowering'. I actively support cultural change (change management) to ensure workforce acceptance. Technology is the lever, but your people remain the engine. I create clarity through clear goals and binding commitments to actively bring teams along. This is how we unlock new dimensions of productivity synergistically—humanly, technologically, and economically.
