Als Executive Coach begleite ich Gründer:innen und Führungskräfte bei tiefem persönlichem und beruflichem Wachstum. Mit Erfahrung aus High-Growth-Umfeldern und buddhistischer Praxis verbinde ich westliche Methoden mit östlichen Einsichten, um einen sicheren Raum für Authentizität, Selbstwahrnehmung und die Auflösung hinderlicher Glaubenssätze zu schaffen – damit Führung leicht, verbunden und selbstbewusst wird.

*Role:* I'm a key strategic thought-partner to the CEO, formulate and execute strategic initiatives, and ensure smooth communication and project execution across units and functions. *How:* Matt Mochary-style unfettered access to all information, part of all meetings. Acting as an extension of the CEO and speaking as him when he's off. Invaluable training ground, giving me a unique vantage point and skill set. *What else:* Responsible for several direct reports at innovation projects.

Portfolio strategy, org, investment process.

Celebrate is Europe’s fastest-growing media sharing app. It provides an easy way for people to collect and share photos and videos. It's perfect for families, weddings, vacations and other occasions you experience with others and want to remember. With several million users, we've already made a lot of ground.

I created our in-house company builder (incl. org, portfolio strategy, investment process) and advanced several of our ventures with Product Discovery, Strategy, and Business Models. Also did some M&A.

Physical product subscription business in the health food industry. Built it from zero to profitability, using a lean startup approach and doing everything by myself. In the end, the product didn't scale (too narrow target group), but I learned a hell lot of stuff.

• Strategic brand repositioning of e-commerce niche leader to increase conversion and CLV • Preparation and support of investor relations and Series D pitch

I developed a 100% growth strategy for a (then) six-year-old e-commerce niche market leader. All of the initiatives and products we proposed back then have been successfully implemented by now and the company has grown >100%!

Kommunikation und Koordination mit dem Kunden, Managen von Subteams und deren Aufgaben, Entwicklung einer neuen Unternehmensstruktur für einen Kunden, Konzeption einer neuen Corporate Identity

This was one of my first more serious ventures. Although I didn't yet know what I was doing, I learned a lot about how business models work (and how they don't), how you get traction (and how you don't), and especially how not to develop a great product your customers love :D
