Managing complexity with confidence

01

Do you want to expand into foreign markets such as China or the Middle East, but need to take into account the legal and cultural conditions and build up a local network?

I have successfully realised such projects several times.

02

Do you have to comply with international laws and regulations in your activities - and that with geopolitical tensions, trade barriers and currency risks?

I know how to deal with such challenges from my practical experience.

03

Are you under pressure in your global supply chains and need to diversify and optimise in order to minimise risks?

I know what is important here.

04

Do you have to recruit employees for your international company and take local laws into account?

I have often done just that and am familiar with international compliance regulations.

05

Are you looking for support with the integration of multinational teams, for example following an acquisition?

I am at home in different cultures, industries and continents.

Your company's success means the world to me.

My Services

With extensive international experience, I support companies in succeeding in volatile and demanding markets. I work where concepts turn into execution – in building organizations, during transformation phases and in hands-on operational leadership on the ground.

I work with internationally active mid-sized companies as well as large multinational corporations, always adapting my approach to the size, structure and decision-making processes of each organization.

My strength lies in the practical delivery of international projects, combining cultural understanding, leadership capability, a hands-on mentality and clear result orientation. Whether as an execution-focused consultant, interim managing director or member of a supervisory or advisory board, I take responsibility when international challenges need to be mastered.

Con­sul­ting

Would you like to invest or expand in international markets and are looking for a consultant with strong implementation skills?
I can support you with market entry, expanding your activities or restructuring projects.

Interim Management

Are you looking for an interim manager for a subsidiary in international markets?

I am happy to take over. Benefit from my more than 25 years of experience with highly complex projects.

Independent Director

Do your shareholders want an expert to supervise the management board?
 

With my knowledge of compliance, risk and corporate governance, I take a close look.
