The journey to Excellence
I am a Strategic Consultant, Business Executive and Lecturer. My specialties are Global Strategy, Corporate Development and Sustainable Transformation for small and medium enterprises in Europe, America, and Asia.
About me
Born and raised in Germany in a family which is French, Hungarian, and Canadian, I grew up amidst restaurateurs, professional soldiers, artists, and skilled workers. These unusual influences have ingrained in me a strong sense of authenticity and purpose. Hence, my mission has come naturally: to go beyond established boundaries.
Since 1995, I have spearheaded transformation processes and turned around ailing businesses in demanding industries like Automotive, Biotech and Filtration. My contribution is to identify the full potential of your business and take it to the next level by implemeting the appropriate strategy into daily routine.
During my leisure time, I am committed to a healthy lifestyle, practicing sports and outdoor activities like Kickboxing, Calisthenics, and horse riding. I am also an avid reader, a dog whisperer, and a passionate learner of holistic health.
Fundamentals
My theoretical foundation is largely based on the comprehensive St Gallen Management Model, which addresses an organization from all its different angles. If long-term, sustainable results are your goal, then I am fully convinced that it is worth embarking on this journey.
Even consultants need to walk the talk
In my experience, consulting has little value when it leaves you on your own with a final report and the struggle to convert theoretical conclusions into actual changes. Having spent near 30 years in the daily grind of corporate´s life, I know first-hand how to plan and execute the required change process.
The One-Company-Model
My coach and mentor Mark McGregor has developed the inspirational "one-person-model" as a way to live up to your true potential.
I am transferring the same approach to your business. Far from being esoteric, this is actually the key to success for all high performance individuals and organizations, whether in sports, in the military or in the business world.

Sustainable industrial growth and clean environment for next generations
Peak performance (even beyond the next quarterly report)
To me, sustainability means so much more than complying with ESG regulation. Resiliency is the key. In an increasingly fast-paced, unpredictable and competitive world, having a clear compass and a proper execution is what ultimately sets you apart on a long-term basis. Your business will thrive while others merely survive.
And to save the best the last: unleashing all your potential is so much fun!
