How may I help you?

1. Consultancy & Advisory

Leveraging my formal education, including Mechanical Engineering, a Master in Business Administration and the Stanford Executive M&A program, as well as many years of operational, integration and business transformation experience enables great value to you. Having lived and worked in The USA, Europe, Latin America and Asia gives me broad cultural perspective and allows me to leverage a vast global network.


2. Leadership

Engagements typically start with an assessment that includes all relevant stakeholders, product & technology analysis, commercial review and in-depth financials analysis. Continuing to manage the daily operations is also of crucial importance and often some quick wins can be realized. The analysis phase will enable establishing an updated strategy and plan for clear goals, work on the organizational levers as well as financial alignment.

With more than 20 years of experience as statutory director in many countries around the world as well as, executive and non-executive director roles in start-ups and multinationals I will enrich your team with expertise in order to realize your ambitions and ensure you stay on the good side of risk and compliance.
