On a journey to value creation
I help manufacturing and engineered materials firms turn technical excellence into enterprise value.
By rebuilding commercial engines (sales, pricing, and leadership alignment), I deliver measurable EBITDA growth within months, not years.
Every mandate is a tailored transformation sprint: high-trust, outcome-driven, and designed to transfer capability long after I’ve left the building
About me
Born in Germany to a French–Hungarian–Canadian family, I was raised between cultures that celebrate craftsmanship, discipline and curiosity.
Manufacturing pedigree: Three decades on factory floors and in board rooms of engineered materials SMEs (primarily serving Automotive, Biotech and Filtration clients).
International lens: Led cross border projects on three continents; fluent in the business languages and working styles of Europe, North America and Asia.
Education: Management degrees from leading institutions in France and Switzerland.
Healthy body, healthy mind: Regular practice of Martial Arts and Calisthenics keep my decisions sharp and my energy high.
Values: Mentored by leadership coach Mark McGregor, I root every engagement in authenticity, courage and purpose.
“No rigid, one-size-fits-all playbook. Just deep industry expertise, straightforward reasoning, and tailored solutions.”
Taking your business to the next level
Commercial Acceleration
Grounded in the St-Gallen Management Model and strengthened by AI-powered analytics, I diagnose how strategy, structure, and culture interact, revealing the bottlenecks that hold growth back.
Integration & Alignment
Whether as interim executive or board-level advisor, I focus on what moves the dial: customer profitability, pricing discipline, and leadership alignment. Expect faster run-rates, cleaner decision-making, and renewed investor confidence.
Leadership transition
Adapting coach Mark McGregor’s “one‑person” philosophy, I merge systems into a single, high‑performance culture. This is crucial when integrating acquisitions at PE speed.
Turnaround Management: from crisis to creating a new future
* Moving a family-owned French trading company into new markets, securing its future development * Moving a German nonwovens company into Filtration markets, doubling its top and bottom line within one year * Scouting a Chinese tech company into Western Europe (10 Mio € pipeline within 1 year) * Creating a new, high-tech business unit for a German company (50 Mio € investment)
