Advisory Board Member & Senior Advisor
Strategy. Transformation.
Leadership with measurable impact.
At the heart of my board work is transformation — whether digital, in leadership transitions, or toward sustainability and innovation. What I bring is not theoretical knowledge, but operational depth from over 20 years of international leadership experience: P&L responsibility, technology rollouts, scaling, restructuring.
As a shareholder of our family business and certified board member, I know both sides of the table. I know what good board work can deliver for an organization – and I bring this perspective as a thought partner at eye level.
What I Bring
I ask the right questions, bring a structured outside perspective, and help leadership teams make better decisions – drawing on more than two decades of experience in global transformation projects. What guides me: the balance between strategic direction and pragmatism in execution – and genuine dialogue: with shareholders, with management, and within the board.
Three Areas of Focus
Digital Transformation
Digital transformation rarely fails because of the technology – it fails because the business model, organization, and technology don’t fit.
This is as true for AI adoption as it is for any digital initiative. That’s exactly where I come in: with clear prioritization, best practices from different industries, the right operating model, and a focus on real impact.
Leadership Transitions & Business Continuity
Leadership transitions, especially transitions from one generation to the next are turning points – strategically, structurally, and culturally.
I support owner-led organizations in navigating this transition: with an entrepreneurial mindset, operational experience, and a structured outside perspective.
Sustainability & Innovation
Sustainability is much more than responsibility – it’s an economic opportunity.
I help organizations connect sustainability goals with economic perspectives: with an understanding of market trends, new business models, and the medium-term development that strategic decisions require today.
