I challenge status quo. I aim for constant development and strive for improvement. Be it myself, a product, a way of business or a new business, this is where I get my motivation. Tech-savvy, structured and analytical, I am a person who will rather start the race 80 pct. prepared than wait for the perfect preparation and never get started. Confidence in the 80 pct. and humble awareness of the missing 20 pct. is in my opinion the right balance to successfully reach your goal. I prefer communicating to create understanding rather than to give instructions. As a colleague and manager I lead by example and involvement. I’m empathetic and apply this in all relations. Over the last twenty years I have successfully applied myself on this basis, within the fields of investment management and wealth management. This has taken me from the client meeting room through the organization to the engine room of producing the products and services best for our clients. The result is a holistic approach, arching complex businesses and organizations, enabling me to deliver value in the next development.
