“Value is created in execution – not on slides.”
“Value is created in execution – not on slides.”
I help owners and leadership teams run their companies with clarity, with a system – and with resilience under pressure. More than 20 years of operational responsibility – tier-1 industry, private equity, an IPO, several ventures founded – have taught me one thing: value is created in execution, not in a slide deck.
The common thread of my career is the combination of finance and entrepreneurship: from a P&L improvement of USD 140M+ in a 1,700-person organization, to a EUR 150M co-investment mandate, to building my own companies in AI, legal tech, UV-C technology and education. As a certified Scale Up Coach, I now bring this operating system – People, Strategy, Execution, Cash – into growing companies. And into our School.
Strategic positioning, finance and build-up – bringing entrepreneurial thinking, leadership and execution excellence into modern higher education.
