Compliance management for sustainable success

No rules rules? Believe me, I am all in for as little red tape as possible. Modern Ethics and Compliance Management should not be about policies, a high admin workload or long and hierarchical approval processes. Yet we are not all Netflix (and even Netflix has rules) and for liability and guidance reasons it makes total sense to create a couple of effective processes to protect yourself and document them in policies. I will help you design a lean and smart solution for a Compliance Management System that fits your specific company culture!

After having done research on corruption in Colombia (empirical), I advised Transparency Rwanda for the GIZ on fraud prevention and detection in public administration, and continued as Compliance Manager at Deutsche Bahn. From there I moved on to Zalando, Europe's leading online fashion platform, to build up their Compliance Management System. Ii stopped over at Auto1 as Anti Money Laundering and Compliance Officer and then once again built a complete Compliance Management System at ParkNow, a Daimler and BMW joint venture.

I am happy to be able to share my knowledge with a wide range of companies across all industries and sizes, from start- and scale- ups to stock-listed groups. As member of the German Institute of Compliance (DICO) and TUV Sustainability Manager, I have a vast network of Compliance professionals with a broad range of subject matter expertise, including Data Protection, AML and Whistleblowing Management.

By the way, I am also a certified Yoga Teacher. Yoga is a philosophy with ethics at its core (the physical workout you most likely associate with it is just a tiny part of it). Compliance, when done well, is a management system with ethics at its core. The link is obvious. Ethics. That is what matters in the end and the better you get at it the less policies you will need. I will help you get there.
