Über mich

I help companies touch people’s hearts. I’m an international executive with a unique combination of experience in innovation, brand marketing, retail & coaching, and a passionate leader who loves to develop people. My biggest added value is a rare wide set of cross-functional competences, deeply rooted in both creative and business disciplines; extra unusual in its equal strength in both strategy - incl brand and process building - and hands-on, detail-oriented execution. My specialty are complex environments which make use of as much of my unique toolbox as possible – especially companies looking to bring more innovation in established industries, or more creativity in disruptive industries. I’m interested to hear more about you and the challenges you face – reach out and let’s talk.
