Strategieberater für Public Affairs & Kommunikation | Sparring für Entscheider

Vienna, Vienna, Austria

About

Viele Organisationen unterschätzen, wie stark politische Dynamiken ihre Handlungsspielräume beeinflussen. Entscheidungen werden komplexer. Kommunikation wird sensibler. Risiken entstehen oft dort, wo sie nicht erwartet werden. Genau hier setze ich an. Ich unterstütze Organisationen und Entscheider dabei, sich in politisch geprägten Umfeldern sicher zu bewegen – strategisch, kommunikativ und persönlich. Meine Arbeit verbindet drei Perspektiven: • Public Affairs – politische Kontexte verstehen und wirksam navigieren • Strategische Kommunikation – klare Narrative entwickeln und Position beziehen • Sparring auf Augenhöhe – Entscheidungen reflektieren und schärfen Ich arbeite vor allem mit: • Führungskräften • Organisationen im regulierten Umfeld • Akteuren mit politischer Schnittstelle Typische Themen: → Umgang mit regulatorischem Druck → Positionierung in sensiblen Debatten → Kommunikation in kritischen Situationen → Strategische Entscheidungsfindung unter Unsicherheit Was mich auszeichnet: Ich denke nicht in Maßnahmen, sondern in Zusammenhängen. Wenn Sie sich in einem Umfeld bewegen, in dem Politik, Kommunikation und Strategie zusammenkommen, lohnt sich ein Austausch. 📩 Schreiben Sie mir direkt hier auf LinkedIn oder per Nachricht.
