Working for your success

I shape change in lean organisations that face challenges in demanding technical, political or strategic circumstances. As an expert in the global energy value chain I develop strategies for complex projects, position exacting business areas in the market, and implement efficient structures and processes. Business engineering and business development are core areas of mine.

As interim manager and consultant I assume operational responsibility in national and international assignments at C-level and in other executive roles for suppliers, operators, or investors or provide executive advice. Analytical skills, a hands-on mentality and a sustainable, results-oriented approach serve to maximize stakeholder value. I apply my experience at the interface between the various corporate functional areas, bringing interest groups together and leading them to a shared success. Energy for your success.
