Your company. Your leadership team. What truly matters to you. Or yourself.
You have built, decided and advanced a great deal yourself. Yet some situations are new, too complex, too important or too personal to resolve alone and alongside everything else.
Not because you lack experience or capability. Some initiatives need additional capacity; others need a protected space, a clear counterpart or an experience that makes leadership immediately tangible.
The right format depends on what you specifically want to move forward.
Four different situations—and four ways to turn them into tangible movement.
You need someone at your side who thinks alongside your entrepreneurial agenda, recognises the connections between leadership, organisation and business, and takes responsibility for turning important decisions into tangible results.
In a focused business retreat, we clarify the questions that truly matter—including what has remained unspoken. This creates shared direction, committed decisions and concrete next steps.
In personal sparring, you expand your horizon and recognise possibilities that were not yet visible from your previous perspective. From this, you develop a coherent picture of what should emerge next for you.
Sail & Grow is an intensive, focused and clearly structured development programme under sail. Real situations reveal how you provide direction, decide and respond under pressure. You recognise patterns and limits and expand your range of action as a leader.
That is where my strongest impact emerges.
Strategy and execution. People and organisation. Personal clarity and entrepreneurial development.
For more than 30 years, I have worked where companies, organisations and people want to build something new or fundamentally develop what already exists—first in senior corporate roles, and for more than ten years independently and entrepreneurially.
Since the emergence of the internet in the 1990s, I have been fascinated by digitalisation as a space for entrepreneurial creation. It does more than accompany my work: I repeatedly seek to shape how new technologies, business models and forms of collaboration translate into tangible impact.
My thread: I come into play when something new is to emerge, when existing structures need realignment or when a good idea needs to become real impact.
I think holistically, develop new perspectives from the desired outcome and never lose sight of the people involved. Holistic thinking, innovation and creativity combine with independent judgement, empathy and emotional stability. I question conventions, remain able to act under uncertainty and pursue impact consistently.
This does not produce standard solutions, but tailored paths that engage people, enable execution and create tangible impact.
Four different situations. Four examples of how new ideas, complex change and important decisions become tangible impact.
Organisational development & sparringAs the company grew, more and more operational responsibility converged on the founder and CEO. Together, strategy, organisational structure and leadership-team development were adapted to that growth. New communication formats and tools improved collaboration. In critical situations, this also included managing internal communications and temporarily leading restaurant operations. Together with those involved, the restaurant strategy was sharpened and translated into clear decisions—including opening seven days a week.
Outcome: Reorganised responsibilities, an adapted organisational structure, a developed leadership team, and guest and revenue records in the restaurant.
Digital platform & business buildingThe starting point was not an existing system, but a new business idea. Within one year, an SAP-connected sales portal was built from business case to go-live. It was then developed during live operations into a B2B2C platform for more than 28 media brands. Different brand-specific requirements were brought together in a shared architecture, enabling new features to be implemented once, used across brands and continuously developed.
Outcome: In parallel, I grew the responsible business unit from a one-person operation to more than 20 internal and external people. ROI was reached after three years instead of five.
Transformation & collaborationA division leader wanted to move a development unit of around 60 software developers towards more agile ways of working. The planned change initially triggered resistance. The designed and facilitated two-day business retreat therefore deliberately did not begin with frameworks and methods. People were first met where they were, and the philosophy behind agile work was made tangible through concrete exercises. Only then was it translated into suitable frameworks, methods and day-to-day collaboration.
Outcome: By the end, the connection between philosophy, principles and methods was clear. Initial resistance became tangible energy: those involved actively demanded and advanced the next stage of agile development.
Digital workplace & transformationAs part of the planned modernisation of the global intranet, the approach was developed into a mobile social intranet and deliberately linked to the intended cultural change. Two years later, an international user survey formed the basis for a central entry point into the digital workplace. As early as 2022, the aim was to reduce complexity consistently: what communication, ways of working and access do several thousand employees really need? Access to the existing tool landscape was aligned with their actual needs.
Outcome: An internationally and user-centred foundation for the digital workplace of several thousand employees. The first development stage received the Inkometa Award 2019 and the PR Award 2020.
