Berlin, Berlin, Germany
CEO & Board Member with 25+ years of experience scaling and transforming technology-driven businesses across SaaS, IndustryTech, and Buy-and-Build environments. Focused on measurable value creation through strategic clarity, operational discipline, and AI-supported execution. I combine hands-on leadership with a structured, outcome-driven approach to building and transforming organizations. My work centers on aligning strategy, operations, and technology to deliver sustainable performance across people, product, and results. Scaling & Transformation Proven track record in scaling software and IndustryTech platforms, executing Buy-and-Build strategies, and leading M&A and post-merger integration. This includes guiding organizations through growth, consolidation, and complex competitive or distressed phases with a clear focus on execution and outcomes. Technology, Partnerships & Network Built senior-level alliances with global technology leaders such as NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Google to accelerate innovation, platform leverage, and market access. I maintain an active international network across SaaS, PropTech, ClimateTech, and IndustryTech, connecting capital, technology, and leadership at board and executive level. Value Creation & Governance Experienced in private-equity and founder-led environments. I design and implement operating systems that align strategy, KPIs, cadence, and culture — creating transparency, accountability, and momentum from day one. Current Focus Following the successful transformation and integration of ASCon Systems into Dassault Systèmes, I am selectively open to Board, CEO, and transformation-driven executive mandates — including interim, CxO-on-demand, and bridge-to-permanent engagements — where technology depth, governance, and measurable impact matter. In parallel, I advise and invest in early-stage companies in ClimateTech, PropTech, and SaaS, applying lessons from large-scale transformation and value creation to the next generation of digital ventures. #Leadership #PrivateEquity #BuyAndBuild #MergersAndAcquisitions #Transformation #SaaS #IndustryTech #BoardRoles #CxOonDemand #AIenabledTransformation
