As a senior strategic leader, I have extensive experience in operations, commercial activities, engineering and marketing. I am passionate about shaping the future of business and innovation in the high-tech, mobility, industrial and services sectors. I have an extensive network of professional leaders in academia, industry, government and politics. Start-ups, green-field approaches, build-up operations and economic development are other areas of expertise I bring to the table. Experienced in developing strategies and fostering a culture of respect, efficency and transparency always in line with the Board’s mandate. Strong leadership, negotiation and communication skills to represent the organisation’s interests nationally and internationally. Comfortable navigating complex environments and challenging situations, balancing regulatory requirements with stakeholder needs and building consensus. My strong creative side is balanced by a technical background and an analytical/design mindset. This allows me to easily combine technical and commercial aspects and quickly identify the key issues. Fluent in several languages, I am ready to lead, innovate and inspire teams to create a unique and successful working environment.

ABOUT ME
30 Years of Working Experience with the Feeling of Being 30.
I am a devoted husband and father of one daughter. This allows me to bring conflict management and trust building skills to my work. My passion for graphic design, video production and photography allows me to easily communicate any message with emotion and storytelling. I find balance through running and biking, which cleanse and recharge my mind and body, and cooking, which allows me to experiment. Sometimes playing jazz and blues on my saxophone helps my creativity and soul.
