about me
down to earth focused driven
I was born and raised in Munich. At the age of 18 I shifted my childhood and adolescent ambition of becoming a professional footballer, into my new challenge: the global business world.
international leadership expat business group
My studies in International Business Administration and study related internships brought me to Birmingham, Lyon, Paris, Berlin and then for my diploma thesis to Beijing. Shortly thereafter, I started my career as a global manager in the automotive industry. In my tenure of 12-years within the corporate sector I worked in Germany, Brazil, France and Asia. My last position was the posting as Marketing Director Asia Pacific 2013 to Taiwan.
customer focus marketing productmanagement sales business development projectmanagement
Functional focus was always the customer and the customer environment: marketing, sales, product management, project management and business development.
organisational development coaching development vision strategy management
Especially in Asia, operational leadership tasks were always linked to organizational development. This involved a variety of development tasks: the creation and consolidation of departments, the technical, project-related and operational leadership of departments and the coaching and development of employees and managers. In addition, a primary focus was the creation of a vision, strategy development and the establishment of value-oriented management.
change progress
These pillars have always been of particular interest to me and, due to the simultaneous operational responsibilities, also a constant challenge for my personal and professional change and progress.
family sabbatical shift change
In 2016, my family and I decided to shift from "expat life" directly into a sabbatical in Portugal and France. Meanwhile, I decided on my next career move. Despite a guaranteed return ito a secure corporate career; I was driven by the ambition to accompany individuals and companies in similar change and progress processes, which I have been through. I left the corporate group at the end of 2017.
business coach trainer consultant entrepreneurship
I decided for to undertake a development program to become a business coach and trainer. In parallel I began my coaching and consulting work in close cooperation with Matterhorn Coaching (www.matterhorncoaching.de).
methods experience pragmatism empathy solution-oriented
In my idea, the customer should always benefit from a unique combination of theoretical-methodical knowledge, my practical experience in the global corporate and local business environments as well as my personal touch. With my pragmatic, empathic and solution-oriented coaching and consulting approach I accompany individuals and companies in their various challenges.

Parallel to my work as a coach and consultant, I teach as guest lecturer at the University of Applied Science Munich and at VHS Oberhaching and Unterhaching. As a key-note speaker, I am also present at various other universities and on different stages.
