With over 25 years of experience, I advise organizations on building and developing successful leadership teams as well as effective advisory boards and supervisory committees. During this time, I have supported numerous companies through challenging transformational phases requiring rapid and profound change—whether in times of fast growth, organizational restructuring, digitalization, or leadership succession. Drawing on my expertise, I help mid-sized businesses and large corporations identify the right leaders and create organizational structures that ensure long-term success, even in dynamic markets.

In light of the major challenges of our time—such as demographic shifts, which have long since reached the leadership level, stagnating economic growth, and ongoing digital transformation—it is essential to have people who can recognize, nurture, and unleash creative potential within organizations. When selecting leaders who will significantly shape your company’s success, we combine industry expertise and experience with evidence-based personality diagnostics (EPD). The benefits: efficient selection processes, high accuracy, and a valid assessment of candidates’ professional success and their fit with the company culture.

My career began with a training program at a major bank, followed by a degree in Business Administration and a transition into consulting—a traditional career path. This journey has given me a deep understanding of economic dynamics across the entire value chain—an experience I now bring to my consulting work. What still excites me most are the interactions with candidates, clients, and my colleagues. I particularly enjoy working with people who want to make a difference—those who challenge me with new ideas and inspire me to think outside the box. From these exchanges, I draw strength and motivation to move forward, question the status quo, and find better solutions.
