Interim COO

EyeSee

Helped the management team build a future-proof, high performance organization by working on organizational structure, performance management, decision making, internal communication (meetings, feedback, conflict resolution) and culture. Activities included project management, advisory, coaching.

Organizational Development and CEO Advisory

Yools

Turned around the company in 2016 by transforming the organizational model, which was recognized as a best practice in academic research, books and conferences. Shift to recurring business model resulted in nearly 1500 active customers with 9,8/10 avg review and 12% churn. Acquired in 2021.

Bootstrapped the company, setting up efficient operations and entering the market with a low price strategy. Bought out co-founder in 2016.

Incofin Investment Management

Fund Development Manager

Bain & Company

Management Consultant

My mission: Building High-Impact Organizations - high performing teams with a meaningful purpose and conscious leadership.

Roles: (late) co-founder, (active) investor, strategic advisor, coach, consultant.
Expertise: strategy, organization, operations, culture, leadership. 

⚡The challenge: As teams grow, they often wrestle with internal complexity and people issues, which bog down leaders in operational details and stall company growth.

💡I help them build or reinvent their organization, multiply their team's impact and free leaders to work on what matters most. 

🛠️My work is supported by the CEO Playbook, a library of proven, modular tools and roadmaps designed to help scale-ups develop their management system, culture and leadership.

🌟This systematic methodology has been recognized as a best practice in academic research, books and conferences. It draws on over 10 years of experience: I began my career as consultant at Bain & Company, then founded, transformed and exited Yools. I also worked at two leading scale-ups (EyeSee & JudgeMe) and have since guided dozens of other start-ups and scale-ups. 

Special interests: economic empowerment, climate change, impact investing, conscious leadership, and other impact themes.

Happy to connect about:

- Envisioning and building a positive and sustainable future
- Mentoring/coaching/guiding founders, CEOs and COOs of start-ups and scale-ups
- Impact venture building
- Acting as venture partner in impact VC funds
