Description

Entrepreneurial Scientist. Someone who gets things done in practice.

After years of studying sustainability, circular economy and ESG at academic level (PhD candidate at TalTech University, Estonia, and a peer-reviewed publication record), I built 7stepssolution GmbH into a consulting firm of up to 12 people – and sold it in 2026.

I don't just develop strategies, I implement them. I don't just follow regulation, I understand the research behind it. I've led more than 50 complex transformation projects for companies like Rolls-Royce Power Systems, Hays AG and Steitz Secura – translating CSRD, LkSG and Circular Economy requirements into structures that actually work beyond PowerPoint.

Before that, I played a key role in building sustainability management at Würth Group from scratch – as their first ever sustainability manager, and a significant driver of what is today known as their "Circular Way" strategy.

I thrive where strategy, science and real business impact intersect. With ownership, scope and the freedom to make things happen.

Open to senior roles in sustainability strategy, ESG, change management, transformation or strategy management – DACH region and beyond.
