What Sets Me Apart:

Guiding Complex Transactions
From carve-outs to succession solutions to Buy & Build – professional guidance during ownership transitions and corporate transactions. As a certified mediator, I bring the soft skills that make the difference in these situations.
M&A transactions and succession solutions are not only economic but also emotional processes. Especially in family businesses, feelings, tradition, and expectations play a major role. As a certified mediator, I bring not only technical expertise but also the ability to resolve conflicts and bring all parties to the table. That makes the difference between a successful and a failed transaction.

About me
I guide companies through internationalization, turnaround, and M&A – with over 20 years of experience as interim CEO/COO. This experience has taught me that every situation is unique, but successful solutions are always based on the same principles: clarity, integrity, and consistent execution.
In my mandates, I have saved production sites from closure, implemented international market entries in the USA, China, and Europe, and successfully guided complex restructurings. I have learned that the difference between success and failure often lies in the details – and in the ability to bring all stakeholders along.
