Summary

I make life easier for visionaries - and their entrepreneurial dreams a reality. For the bold and courageous who are ready to take the leap into the future, I am the partner who transforms their visions into tangible successes. I support entrepreneurs in transforming their businesses into powerful, profitable systems that go far beyond the ordinary. With my strategic consulting and fact-based approaches, I help you harness innovation and agility to achieve your boldest goals. As a keynote speaker, I inspire leaders to realise big dreams and initiate bold, sustainable change. With over 30 years of experience, a degree in psychology and a PhD in change management, I bring the expertise and passion it takes to turn your entrepreneurial visions into reality. Together we will shape a future that still seems like a dream today. I am known as "Doctor Change", specializing in change management with a background in business psychology and a PhD in business administration focusing on better change management. My journey includes roles at Accenture, co-founding a private equity company, being the CEO of a business consultancy, and currently serving as the director of Almademey Ltd, where I assist clients in modernizing and refocusing their organizations across various industries. As a co-author of books such as "People, Culture & Communication" and "Digital Project Practice for New Work and Industry 4.0", I have over 30 years of experience orchestrating change initiatives for clients like Lufthansa, Audi, and many family businesses. My keynote speeches on better change have inspired national and international audiences to embrace a future-driven mindset. I work closely with decision makers, particularly CEOs and owners of companies with 100-500 employees in any industry. My goal is to help them modernize and digitize their organizations, fostering innovation, flexibility, and profitability. Through my "Sacred Cow Framework", I offer transformative solutions to expedite the realization of business visions and ensure future readiness. By conducting "vision to reality" workshops and business wargaming sessions, I empower clients to turn abstract visions into actionable plans and test the validity of their strategies in crisis scenarios. To explore collaboration opportunities and initiate our journey towards positive change, I invite you to schedule a 30-minute video call through my calendar tool. Let's connect and discuss how we can work together to drive meaningful transformation in your organization.
