About

My strength is structuring uncertainty around technology, market and finance. I am most useful when things are still messy but decisions are expensive. I help industrial and cleantech companies turn complex technology into investment-ready growth. With 35+ years experience across industry, entrepreneurship and scale-ups, I operate at the intersection of technology, market, finance and decision-making. Especially where CAPEX, first-of-a-kind production plants and uncertainty come together. I have worked as engineer, troubleshooter, product developer, marketer, innovation and incubation manager, founder and director. In those roles I was repeatedly asked to act as advisor, sparring partner to company teams, particularly in moments where strategic choices had to be made under pressure. Highlights include: * Development of new production technologies * writing and validating investment memoranda for new production plants * leading multidisciplinary teams in pre-feasibility and investmenr decision phases * raising equity and securing bank financing for my own cleantech startup * commercial experience in Europe, India and the Middle East I combine an academic background in chemical engineering with advanced education in B2B Marketing, finance and business development, complemented by Climate KIC and Impact Hub programmes focused on investment readiness, impact and growth. Today I work in roles where I can add most value before irreversible decisions are made; framing assumptions, structuring uncertainty, integrating technology, market and finance, and helping leadership teams decide with confidence. I particularly effective in: * Pre-feasibility & feasibility phases * Investment decks & decision documents * Subsidy & financing strategy aligned with business reality * Advisory and fractional leadership roles I thrive in environments that value clarity, intellectual honesty and impact - and where speed is matched with thoughtful decision-making.
