Are you a B2B Tech Founder or C-level executive whose brilliant product is losing deals to competitors with weaker tech?

The reason is not your engineering, it’s a Visibility Gap.

You have the technical expertise and the solution; you just lack the high-impact system to make your brand visible, authoritative, and impossible to ignore among your ideal buyers.

Introducing the High-Impact Visibility System (HVS):

I help turn complex technical IP into high-performing content that generates qualified pipeline. My proprietary High-Impact Visibility System (HVS) is a proven, battle-tested framework for technical leaders who are ready to scale:

Problem-to-Post: 
Translating dense technical insights into content pillars that resonate immediately with executive-level buyers.

Impression Scaling: 
Going from under 2K to 100K+ impressions on LinkedIn, ensuring you own the mindshare in your niche.

Authority Building: 
Positioning you and your team as the definitive experts, turning visibility into genuine sales conversations and closed deals.

We do this efficiently. 
I implement the engine, you own the expertise: it only takes 1 hour of your time per week.

The Results:
I've helped my clients launch content engines that:

- Put them in front of 100,000+ potential target customers.

Mercedes just offered some employees €500,000 to quit.

Half a million euros.

To walk away.

Let that sink in.

The largest layoff program in Mercedes-Benz history is underway.

4,000 employees already accepted severance.

Up to 30,000 targeted.

The severance math:

55-year-old team leader with 30 years?
→ €500,000+

45-year-old admin with 20 years?
→ €300,000+

This isn't restructuring.

This is paying premium prices to undo decades of organizational bloat.

Here's what they won't tell you:

These packages cost €5 billion over 3 years.

That's the same amount they could have spent building actual software capabilities.

Or 3 CARIAD-sized disasters.

Or one competent SDV platform from scratch.

Instead, they're paying experienced engineers to leave.

While simultaneously trying to become a "software company."

The logic doesn't work.

You can't become Tesla by paying your workforce to disappear.

You can't out-innovate China by shrinking.

You can't build the future with the people who remain when all the senior talent takes €500K and walks.

What Mercedes actually needs:

Different people? No.
Different organization? Yes.

The same engineers who "can't ship software" at Mercedes?

They'd ship weekly at a startup.

The problem was never the people.

It's the system those people are trapped in.

€500K severance packages don't fix systems.

They just make the broken system smaller.

And smaller broken systems are still broken.

If you got offered €500K to leave, would you take it?
