About Harald

I support companies, project teams, and executives in communicating complex topics in a understandable, visible, and impactful way – especially during phases of change, innovation, or high public attention.
With over 20 years of experience as a producer, project lead, and story developer, I translate technical, strategic, and organizational content into clear narratives – for internal communication, change processes, presentations, leadership communication, or public appearances.

My approach deliberately differs from classic communication consulting:
I come from practical project work. For me, communication is not a marketing add-on, but a central success factor for complex projects.

Typical fields of application:
- Structuring complex content and decision-making processes
- Communication strategy in transformation or innovation projects
- Preparing executives & stakeholder communication
- Developing clear narratives for internal or public communication
- Translation between specialist departments, management, and the public

I work analytically, structured, and creatively at the same time:
First understand, then simplify, then communicate effectively.
The goal is not short-term staging, but sustainable clarity, trust, and impact.
