I understand transformation and leadership - because I have lived them myself.

As a consultant based in Austria, I guide executives and organizations across the DACH region through transformation. With 25 years of experience in the automotive and paper industries, I have discerned a profound truth: people remain the cornerstone of enduring, sustainable change.

Unlike traditional strategy consultants, I focus on people, culture, and implementation. My approach integrates business expertise, leadership development, coaching, and culture work. As a sparring partner and management consultant, I drive measurable results, strong engagement, and sustainable success.

ESLA

New focus: Business Development Director at ESLA – transition from industry to service sector.

Values that drive your transformation forward.

My performance is rooted in a clear vision. I empower you to execute your objectives with impact and operate on equal footing with stakeholders. As a business consultant and systemic coach, I deliver comprehensive support to implement targeted measures effectively. Ultimately, results are what matters.
Implementation Excellence
Between strategy and execution lies my strength. I support you in turning your goals into effective action – sustainably, efficiently, and in a way that aligns every level of your organization.
With profound respect for your established foundations, we co-create solutions that emerge alongside the people in your organization—not imposed from above. This fosters transformation that is wholeheartedly embraced and deeply understood across every layer of your company.
Success manifests not in concepts, but in tangible results. I focus on transformation that becomes visible – in behaviors, in collaboration, and across the organization as a whole.
True transformation arises only from those who look deeply—beyond mere surface scratches. I view individuals holistically, not just through their roles, but through their mindset, background, and untapped potential.
