About

I help PE-backed industrial companies grow enterprise value. As Director Corporate Development at tmax Group, I report directly to the CEO and act as sparring partner to the CFO and advisory board on strategy, transactions, and enterprise performance. Over the past 7+ years I have: ▸ Shaped and driven the group-wide corporate strategy — and translated it into a value creation roadmap with measurable impact across revenue, margin, cost, and working capital ▸ Planned our international footprint expansion into Romania and Mexico — from site selection to full P&L and cash flow business cases ▸ Built a new hydrogen business field from scratch — market assessment, customer acquisition, first projects Before tmax: five years in management consulting (TCW / Prof. Wildemann, Munich), leading turnarounds, reorganizations, and operational excellence programs across automotive, machinery, and industrial sectors. PhD in eco-efficiency-oriented factory planning (TU Munich). Wharton Executive Education in M&A and Corporate Development Strategies. What drives me: turning strategy into measurable P&L impact.
