Summary
For over 20 years, I have held leadership positions in international industrial companies – in sales, operations, project management and general management. During this time, I have seen that change rarely fails because of strategies or processes, but often because of uncertainty, conflicts and a lack of direction for the people expected to drive it.
This experience shaped my path into coaching and mediation. Today, I combine my many years of leadership experience with my qualifications as a Business Coach and psychological mediator. My focus is on sparring with people in positions of responsibility who want to gain clarity, make decisions and stay effective during change processes.
I work in a structured, practical way and with a clear attitude:
Change is necessary. Loss is not.
