IT'S ALL ABOUT PEOPLE • Author of Leadership Programs, Books and Podcasts • Speaker • Coach • Husband • Father • Musician 🎶

Are you experiencing people pains? 

I help leaders and teams to achieve their goals.

Drawing on over 30 years of experience as a corporate executive, founder, consultant, and business angel, I offer personalized services, including one-on-one coaching and mentoring, team coaching, strategy workshops, leadership development, conflict resolution, mediation and moderation.

My approach blends empathy and insight, creating a safe environment for clients to gain clarity, close gaps, and accelerate their success. 

Through my work, I have helped thousands of professionals in small, medium, and large organizations.
Contact me for a list of references.

I am the author of Chief of Anything and The Six Situations of Feedback, and I co-host the Chief of Anything podcast, where we share practical techniques and reflections on leadership and growth. 

Much like the interplay of melody and rhythm in a symphony, I help leaders to create dynamic teams where every individual’s unique contribution builds toward shared success. 🎶

BottleAd Media GmbH (www.bottle-ad.de)

Als Teil des innovativen Teams von BottleAd bringe ich meine Expertise in den Bereichen Multichannel und Digital Advertising in den Lebensmitteleinzelhandel ein. Als starker Kanal für den Handel und die Industrie transformiert BottleAd den bisher langweiligen Moment der Leergutabgabe im Supermarkt in ein unvergessliches Werbeerlebnis.

Mit unserem intelligenten Display, das Ton abspielen und knapp über dem Einwurfschacht angebracht ist, bietet BottleAd Konsumenten Unterhaltung und Marken die Chance, kurz vor dem Einkauf noch einen starken Impuls zu setzen. Kurze und unterhaltsame Spots im Stil von Social Media-Videos sorgen für überragende Ergebnisse.

Ich bin stolz darauf, Teil eines Teams zu sein, das viele starke Handelspartner und innovative Industriepartner vereint, um Produkte effektiv präsentieren zu können.

- Negotiating substantial deals with rights owners (music labels, game developers, national associations)
- Planning and running media exposure on TV, print and online
- Developing a "factory-like" sales process incl. partner marketing, user acquisition, service, analytics and billing
