My Passion
My passion is Argentine tango, which is improvised and danced purely through intuitive leading and following. I love this wonderful combination of technique, creativity, connection, flow, and ultimately meditation.
Let’s talk!My Mission
To use my broad experience in a wide variety of environments (corporate, mature startup, early stage) to create sustainable success with the best and most appropriate thinking and approach. For me, this means, on the one hand, filtering out the essential key problems and, on the other hand, solving these problems with a sharp focus, creatively and hands-on. With communication that speaks plain language, is factual, clear and structured, but is also always approachable and brings the people involved with all their peculiarities on board.
