Lighting, Semiconductors, and High-Tech

With nearly 20 years in the lighting and semiconductor industries, I’ve worked across startups, mid-sized firms, and global corporations, navigating the complexities of leadership, talent and operational efficiency. I don’t just consult – I dive deep into companies to pinpoint what’s working, what’s not, and what needs to change.

My focus:

Executive Search – finding the right leaders to drive growth.
The best companies aren’t just built on great products – they’re built on great people. I help businesses identify high-impact talent, aligning leadership with strategy, culture, and long-term success.

Enterprise Health & Organisational Efficiency – fixing what’s holding your company back.
Hidden inefficiencies drain time, money, and talent. The Enterprise Health Program uncovers these gaps through data-driven diagnostic, and delivers structured solutions to improve leadership, processes, and team effectiveness.

Where I add value:
I combine deep industry insight with hands-on execution. I’m often described as the “engine” behind transformational initiatives – bringing the right people together, tackling inefficiencies head-on, and helping companies move forward with clarity and confidence.

IT & Digitalization

Family businesses are the backbone of our economy and society. They embody values built over generations – yet today they face massive pressure: regulatory complexity, disruptive technologies such as AI, and the growing dominance of global digital corporations threaten their competitiveness and independence. I empower entrepreneurs to actively shape this transformation, preserve their company’s DNA, and secure their role as vital pillars of society.

My Value driven approach combines strong leadership with the energy from within the organization. It creates clarity, delivers quick wins, and ensures sustainable change – without the weaknesses of traditional top-down consulting. Supported by a diagnostic model, we set the right priorities at the right time and keep orientation throughout the transformation.

This approach works wherever transformation under high pressure and complexity is required. It is transferable to other types of organizations and proves effective when transformation needs to be initiated, accelerated, or brought back on track.

With more than 25 years as a CEO leading digital transformations, turnarounds, and growth initiatives, I know the challenges firsthand. I bring clarity, focus, and hands-on execution to help organizations thrive in a world shaped by disruption and complexity.

FMCG Food

I am a seasoned expert with over 30 years of experience in various management roles, primarily in medium-sized food companies. For the last 15 years, I have successfully served as CEO and COO. Previously, I built extensive experience across HR, Supply Chain & Operations, and Sales functions.

Throughout my professional life, I have worked for companies undergoing significant changes. In these settings, I contributed to and led strategic alignments, M&A executions, post-merger integrations, and optimization of organizational structures and workflows.

I believe that successful changes are based on a hands-on approach, consistency, and well-structured, results-driven processes. However, without the right people, their support, and clear leadership, change processes often fail to deliver the expected results. As these changes occur in an ever-evolving environment, it’s crucial to regularly review the strategic goals.

With deep experience in the FMCG-Food Industry and hands-on leadership across multiple functions, I help companies navigate substantial change and post-merger phases to achieve their strategic objectives. My support focuses on creating the right structures, aligning the right people, and building the capabilities needed for lasting results

Change is a challenge – with the right leadership and structure, it becomes a platform for value creation. I´m here to support that journey.
