Summary
Agile, focused "self-starter" with a consistent solution orientation to create added value.
Those who have stopped improving have stopped being good!
Curiosity, analytics, goal orientation, strong communication, and intrinsic motivation are, in my opinion, powerful tools for continuous growth. As a relatively young yet highly experienced professional, it is always important for me to gain new experiences daily, constantly develop, and find the best solution for my client. Whether small or mid-cap, I do not shy away from conversations and discussions with the C-level to achieve the best for the company. My goal is to deliver added value with a track record "at the end of the day."
In my career, I have had the opportunity to get to know various industries. My practical experience is primarily focused on the energy sector, management and HR consulting, trade, and I have gained insights into the healthcare sector and gastronomy. I have had the chance to gain expertise both as a self-employed professional and as an employee in publicly traded corporations (NASDAQ/DAX), large enterprises, and SMEs. I am familiar with companies featuring municipal/public as well as private shareholders from hands-on operations.
As a certified regulatory manager specializing in energy, I also feel "prepared" for the requirements of other regulated industries (e.g., telecommunications). I do not shy away from new challenges. Even in unregulated businesses, I am convinced I can bring measurable added value as an external consultant. Let’s talk openly about your support needs, and I will honestly tell you what we can achieve and what is not realistic.
The professional focuses of my career are shaped by management consulting, C-level HR consulting, controlling, sales and marketing, business development, and executive assistance.
