Co-founder of Strat-Exx (together with Bernd Hirschle), a boutique advisory firm for B2B decision-makers: CEOs, managing directors, CSOs and business unit leaders in high tech, mechanical and plant engineering, building materials, chemicals, energy and telecommunications.

Accelerating profitable growth: Strat-Exx accelerates profitable growth by finding and solving the bottlenecks that hold growth back. Profitable growth is a product, not a sum — if one factor is weak, it holds all the others back. That is why we focus on the bottleneck, across eight equally important factors:

  • Markets — Are we investing in the right geographies, applications and customer segments?
  • Revenue drivers — Is the product portfolio right for each market, and are we making the most of our potential?
  • Market access — Are all the requirements for serving the market in place?
  • Organization — Are sales, marketing and business units empowered and aligned?
  • Commercial excellence — Do we reach a new, better level of performance every three years?
  • Management — Is the strategy reflected in the results?
  • Immediate actions — Plan Gap Recovery and Sales Gap Recovery when a company or business unit is at risk of missing its target
  • Technology foundation — Are business decisions made before IT starts building, so that systems, data and AI support the growth model?

My role:

  • Executive advisor with responsibility for mandates involving boards, executive management and business unit leaders
  • Growth strategy, go-to-market and new business models, including asset monetization
  • Commercial excellence and performance management in marketing and sales
  • Digital transformation and Agentic AI in marketing, sales and digital commerce
  • Working as a consultant, program manager or interim manager — tailored to the company’s DNA, its people and its specific growth question

Experience: 34 years in consulting, including 14 years as a Managing Director at Accenture (including as a member of the global Marketing, Sales & Customer Service service line board and Chief Digital Officer Accenture Strategy D-A-CH) and five years as a Partner at Horn & Company / neuland.digital and AdEx Partners. Named a “Best Consultant” by brand eins five times (digitalization, sales, innovation, e-commerce).
