About

Turnaround & Transformation Advisor | Former CEO | Driving Performance Under Pressure Without Burning Out Organizations I work with companies under pressure — where performance, transformation, and leadership strain collide. With a background as CEO in international companies and a PhD-level focus on performance and stress, I operate at the intersection of business turnaround and organizational sustainability. I support owners, boards, and executive teams in critical situations such as: • Turnaround and business recovery • Transformation and growth under pressure • Leadership performance and organizational resilience My approach is straightforward: Deliver measurable results — while preserving the organization’s ability to execute and perform. I am typically engaged in high-stakes situations where speed, clarity, and execution capacity are decisive. Typical engagements include turnaround interventions, transformation programs, and executive advisory roles.
