With 6 years in top-tier strategy consulting and 10+ years in industry, I advise boards and executive teams on restructuring, organization design, and transformation—from transformation for growth to critical turnaround setups. I have worked with international corporations and the German Mittelstand and bring a pragmatic, execution-focused perspective in high-stakes situations. As a Senior Principal for Restructuring and Organization Design at Mercer, I advise leaders when the organization must materially change—e.g., restoring performance, reshaping operating models, integrating after M&A, scaling for growth, or stabilizing the business under cost, cash, and stakeholder pressure. My focus is on decisions that hold under real-world constraints and can be implemented at speed. A distinctive element of my work is an integrated approach combining organization design with workforce, skills, and compensation. I align the target operating model (structures, decision rights, governance) with required capabilities and skills, translate this into clear role and talent implications, and ensure market- and performance-aligned compensation. The result: a future organization with the right capabilities, the right people in the right roles, and incentives that support execution—so transformation is operationally feasible and sustainably embedded. I regularly advise in complex stakeholder landscapes, including negotiations with Works Councils and unions—balancing financial imperatives with organizational and human realities to keep implementation viable. I advise clients across industries on: • Turnaround / restructuring programs and transformation offices • Organization design for operating models, governance, and leadership layers • Workforce & skills strategies linked to strategy execution • Compensation alignment for competitiveness and performance orientation • Leadership and stakeholder alignment in challenging contexts If you are preparing a growth step-change—or facing a restructuring where execution and stakeholder alignment decide success—let’s connect.
Senior Principal at Mercer, leading restructuring and organizational design engagements as a trusted advisor to executive leadership. I bring over 6 years’ experience as a strategy consultant at Oliver Wyman and over 12 years’ experience as a VP-level industry executive—combining strategic rigor with hands-on transformation delivery. I design organizations specifically tailored to each client’s strategy, operating context, and cultural realities, advising management from ambition through implementation. My core work includes enterprise restructurings, target operating model (TOM) design, and workforce strategy, covering governance, roles and decision rights, spans and layers, workforce sizing and productivity, and capability and talent implications (skills, leadership requirements, build/buy/borrow, and transition planning). I coordinate end-to-end stakeholder management and communications, including alignment with employee representatives and works councils (Betriebsrat), and orchestrate internal and external communication streams to ensure transparency, compliance, and momentum. I lead integrated change management—stakeholder alignment, communication planning, and leadership enablement—to embed outcomes and sustain adoption. Typical results include measurable cost and complexity reduction, clearer accountability, faster decision-making, improved execution speed, and operating models that scale. I contribute thought leadership on restructuring, organization effectiveness, and the future of work—leveraging analytics, market insight, and workforce data to elevate decisions and deliver lasting impact.
