On a journey to Strategy Excellence
I am a Strategic Consultant, Interim Executive and Supervisory Board Member. My specialties are Global Strategy, Corporate Development and Sales Excellence for PE-backed SMEs across EMEA, North America, India and Asia.
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 four continents; fluent in the business languages and working styles of EMEA, 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.
“Consulting only matters when it drives behavior change at the frontline—and I stay until the change sticks.”
Taking your business to the next level
Fundamentals
Grounded in the St‑Gallen Management Model, I examine Strategy, Structure and Culture as an integrated system. I add AI‑powered analytics to reveal hidden constraints and opportunities.
Even consultants need to walk the talk
I won’t just hand over a slide deck and disappear. I´d rather roll up my sleeves as Interim CSO, Integration Manager or Board Advisor, driving execution side‑by‑side with your teams until the new run‑rate is locked.
The One-Company-Model
Adapting Mark McGregor’s “one‑person” philosophy, we forge a single, high‑performance culture out of newly combined entities. 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 * Creating a new, high-tech business unit for a German company (50 Mio € investment)
