Person

I take responsibility in situations where organizations are no longer able to act.

I work at all levels of an organization – from operational implementation to management – and also lead in conflict-ridden and unstable structures. This is not about advice, but about intervention, clarity and implementation.

I work on site and attach great importance to personal presence. For me, leadership means taking responsibility, making decisions and ensuring their implementation.

The assignment is temporary with a clear mandate and gives low priority to internal interests. The aim is to restore the ability to control and to stabilize the organization in the long term.
