EXPerience
With more than three decades of project experience—both nationally and internationally, in large corporations as well as in mid-sized organizations—I have supported transformation and change initiatives across a wide range of industries. This broad exposure continues to shape my approach to this day: it enables me to identify patterns more quickly, pinpoint effective levers, and develop solutions that are both strategically sound and operationally viable.
I have worked with internationally leading companies in the chemical and industrial sectors, as well as with global organizations in the pharmaceutical, life sciences, and agribusiness industries. In addition, I have gained consulting experience in technology and software companies and within the automotive industry. A further focus of my experience lies in the telecommunications sector, as well as in transport, mobility, and the consumer goods industry.

For more than 30 years, I have been supporting organizations and leadership teams in successfully shaping transformations. Transformation is my passion; engaging people along the way is my goal. What sets me apart is my comprehensive expertise: deep change management know-how, many years of hands-on experience in project and program management, and a trained eye for the way structure, culture, and people interact in organizations.
Analytical clarity, empathy in collaboration, courage in addressing the issues at hand, and integrity characterize my work. As a generalist with a systemic perspective and strong execution capability, I understand how complex change works in real-life organizational settings.
