About Marvin

I listen to companies — before I touch anything.

Externally validated: Top 1% COO Benchmark — Heidrick & Struggles, April 2025.

What I recognize: where teams clash, where processes waste energy, where growth has outpaced structure. Not from the gut — but through analytical listening and operational experience from almost a decade of company building.

At MO.agency, I scaled an organization from 0 to 300+ employees in under 24 months — with full P&L responsibility and a successful business model pivot.

At BON BON, I accompanied the commercial transformation from startup to scale-up as an Interim Executive.

My promise is not a quick fix. But an honest diagnosis — and then the path forward together.

Education

  • Diplom-Wirtschaftsingenieur für Seeverkehr
    Hochschule Bremen
    2014
    Studieninhalte umfassten Logistik, Schiffsführung, technische Betriebsführung, internationale Prozesssteuerung und Betriebswirtschaft. Diplomarbeit: „Lernzieloperationalisierung eines E-Learnings für Ladungsrechner auf Seeschiffen" — eine praxisorientierte Verknüpfung von Wissensvermittlung, Systemlogik und betrieblicher Anwendung. Note: 2,0. Das interdisziplinäre Studium legte das Fundament für mein heutiges Verständnis komplexer Organisationsstrukturen, prozessorientierter Führung und skalierbarer Effizienz.
