Summary

I support organizations with complex scientific, technical and strategic questions – especially where clarity, evidence and well-thought-out analyses are needed. With a background in quantum chemistry (PhD, TU Berlin) and over 20 years of experience at the interface of science, technology and business, I connect ideas, systems and people.
