As a graduate in business administration (Diplom-Kaufmann), I have over 25 years of international leadership and management experience in sales, service, after-sales, and operations. My areas of expertise include automotive, insurance, business intelligence, digitalization, and AI transformation.

I support companies as an interim manager, project manager, consultant, and sparring partner – from strategy to successful implementation.
