I have a proven track record of leading companies through significant changes and crises including mergers & acquisition, digital and agile transformation. Extensive experience in customer centric strategy development across B2B and B2C industries. Trusted advisor on executive and non-executive board level with a strong network. Passionate about bringing people and data together and creating sustainable growth, innovative solutions and scalable success whilst fostering a resilient and empowering corporate culture.

Market understandinng/sector: Fintech, ICT, Insurance, Banking, Financial Sector, SME, Startups, Blockchain, Crypto Assets.

Passion is the steam to my locomotive that drives my success. I’m analytical and creative and  consider myself to be extremely passionate about strategy, leadership, start-ups, communications, digital and branding and while being a visionary thinker I never lose sight of the critical details that make up a successful project. 

Besides my job I’m a design addict. I’m a lover of all kinds of creative and beautiful things in architecture, furniture design and fashion. What fascinates me most is how clever people solve complex practical problems in an emotionally appealing way. I think you can learn a lot from design and apply it one or the other way to a company’s communication architecture.

I’m always interested in hearing from colleagues or just creative folk, so feel free to contact me if I can be of any help to you.
