Leadership for change, transformation
and turnaround

As a leadership and transformation expert, I help larger organizations in the structured planning, management and controlling of parallel change initiatives and operational campaigns.

The focus is on the digital re-organization of people & customer relationship and organizational structures as value-added services in the industry, technology and service sectors.

With the result that the People & Customer Experience Management becomes significantly more efficient and the companies I accompany become more successful overall.
