Summary

I'm a Founder, Interim Manager, Enabler, and Advisor with over 26 years of experience. Currently, I serve as the CEO of curaya GmbH, a platform for holicious wellbeing that provides expertise and experts for a conscious, modern, and healthy lifestyle - selected by deutsche-start-ups as one of the 6 start-ups to watch in 2021. Additionally, I am the founder of yousmile.io, a start-up in Beta that uses AI to generate a personalized by combining names & images in a unique way, boosting user retention and engagement. As a senior Scale-up Coach, hands-on Strategic Advisor & Interim Executive, I am passionate about unleashing growth potential, transforming mindsets and structures, and innovating with transformative technology. My approach incorporates agile methodologies like the Scale-up Framework, OKRs, and the Design Sprint approach to create effective scaling strategies. As a fan of strength-based leadership, I am also a trained Mediator and a certified Stärkenkompass® Coach. This approach takes Gallup's Strengthfinder a step further by including team Feedback. By the way, these are my 5 top themes according to Gallup: Strategic, Activator, Learner, Ideation, Woo. With my entrepreneurial expertise, skillset, and insights of a broad range of industries and companies, I possess a deep understanding of scaling, innovation, and transformative technology. What makes a difference is my ability to translate strategic visions into operational realities, creating efficient structures and processes. My tech-savvy approach allows me to harness the power of technology to drive tangible results. Moreover, my focus on people first principles ensures that transformation is also sustainable. I am excited about enabling teams and companies to unleash their potential and to reorganize mindsets, structures, and processes towards more agility because it leads to more effectiveness and efficiency. I'm particularly passionate about redefining how Organizations and Executive Boards, in particular, operate. If you're facing challenges in my areas of expertise and skillset, such as scaling, innovation, transformative technology, crisis management, or interim management, don't hesitate to reach out. I also bring a unique blend of experience, strength-based leadership, mediation, and coaching skills to the table. Challenged by improving my kite-surfing and recharged by very dark chocolate.
