Finance, M&A and Succession

My focus is to support entrepreneurs and founders mapping out and implementing their strategic and financial journey as an independent advisor – from the very first steps to handing over to the successor. After decades of helping businesses grow, I have learned that the true legacy of an entrepreneur isn’t just in what you built – it’s in what you leave behind.

With my experience in strategic leadership and business transformation across industries like energy, automotive, professional services and insurance, I had the privilege of guiding leaders through some of their most pivotal transitions. I have seen first-hand how the right management team and a clear strategy can make or break the future of a company.

My expertise stems from a consistent emphasis on strategic leadership and business transformation, underpinned by strong financial management capabilities. I work closely with entrepreneurs to evaluate management teams, secure funding, and design innovative handover strategies – so that their life’s work is protected and their vision lives on.

Let’s talk how I can contribute to scale your vision into value.

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.
