Summary

In my youth, I would be what you'd call a "car fanatic". The nice lady at the career counseling once said, "You don't even need to apply for that." That motivated me even more to work in this field.

Today, mobility is for me much more than just metal and four wheels. Mobility is multimodal, connected, and smart. Optimizing things. Expanding and sharing knowledge. I am convinced that exchange brings innovation. Mobility fascinates me because it lets us discover new places, connect with people, and reach our goals.

We are in the middle of a major shift of established models. Not only in mobility. Many industries are undergoing big changes.

Many leaders are so caught up in day-to-day operations that there's little room left for development or strategy. They've long since let go of the joystick. Juggling all the different tasks is getting harder. I am a problem solver and work with decision-makers to regain structure and clarity. I give impulses and support implementation so your company is fit for the future. Spotting opportunities, identifying areas to act on, and designing an action plan for execution. I bring your employees on board and involve them actively in the process. The result: securing your market position and sustainable growth rates.
