About

In my current role as Vice President West & South Europe at the Zumtobel Group, I empower our market organizations in Italy, Spain/Portugal, France, Benelux, and the UK/Ireland to realize our shared vision: "Leading in light for a connected world, from one generation to the next." I bring extensive cross-functional expertise in General Management, Strategy, P&L leadership, Sales, Marketing, Digital Transformation, and Leadership Development. With a strong belief that sustainable growth starts with empowered teams and clear purpose, I drive performance by aligning people, innovation, and culture. My career has been shaped by diverse leadership roles at Zumtobel (including as General Manager Switzerland), Hoval, and the Hilti Corporation, with impact across global markets including Southern Africa, Great Britain, Ireland, and Central Europe. I believe that the role of a modern CEO goes far beyond managing operations — it’s about shaping the future. I am deeply committed to driving organizations forward with strategic clarity, bold decision-making, and an unwavering focus on customer and stakeholder value.
