About Dr. Roland

Leading. Change.
I guide companies and leaders through transformation.
With over 600 successfully managed change projects and more than 10 years of international leadership responsibility as Senior Vice President Operations.

As a doctor of engineering with responsibility for 1,800 employees at 5 international locations, I know the operational reality behind every transformation firsthand. Change fails not because of concepts, but because of a lack of direction, overwhelm, and inconsistent leadership.

**My Projects**: Change Management at Executive Level, Culture Development, Leadership Programs, Transformation in Industrial Companies, Crisis Support, and Executive Coaching. Project languages German and English, DACH and international.
