Introduction

I support executives in finding clarity to master critical challenges, in creating trust to build effective teams, and in optimizing the performance of their organization.

Time with my wife and children, long walks with our dog, lots of reading (Stefan Zweig, Gore Vidal, Irvin Yalom), all kinds of outdoor activities (water sports and mountaineering), and my early morning meditation are an important counterbalance to my professional life.

My key character strengths are curiosity, bravery, enthusiasm, fairness, leadership, and the ability to love (VIA Character Strength Survey). In complex situations these help a lot in being clear and appreciative at the same time.

Born 1969 in a little town in Germany�s southwest, I lived in various places of Germany, the USA and France and found home in Hamburg, enjoying its lake and parks every day.

I love people, inspiration, all kinds of challenges and the calm in the eye of the storm.

In more than 20 years as executive in the finance, investment, and start-up industry and as strategy consultant, I have experienced and mastered a variety of challenges myself. These experiences are very helpful in understanding my clients� situation both rationally and emotionally.

As executive coach, I trust in the ability of my clients to master their challenges themselves. I support them with purposeful questions and active listening.
