With over 30 years of international experience as an entrepreneur, consultant, and manager, I have learned—often the hard way—which leadership practices work—and why.

Together with the carefully selected Claxus partner network, I work with leaders, teams, and organizations to facilitate change.

My experience covers financial services, pharmaceuticals, technology, manufacturing, telecom, energy, food and beverage, consulting, and professional services.

I am founder and “chief networker” at Claxus Consulting, an international network with partners from Germany, Switzerland, the UK, the USA, Canada, and Australia.

Previously, I was Managing Director at Strategic Management Group, Inc. in Germany.

I studied psychology at the University of Pennsylvania and anthropology at the University of Michigan. I have lived in the USA, the UK, and Switzerland before settling near Munich, Germany.

I work in German or English.
