Über mich

I am looking for the opportunity to work in the fields of business/management consultancy, business analysis or related fields of services in Montreal, Canada. Since I finished my university studies with an MBA in 2003 this kind of activities have been a focus of my career. I worked for or with CEO's and high managers to develop companies or parts of them further, to increase the sustainability of the business, to improve processes and actions and to adapt to actual conditions. To have the perspective of an consultant, to challenge processes, circumstances and my own actions, proved advantageous in my private endeavours, too. The last years until July 2022 I spent running 3 businesses and some freelance activities on the Portuguese Algarve. Despite the pandemic situation I was able to perform profitable. My activities were related to tourism and events. Despite the pandemic situation I was able to perform profitable. Please see my timeline for more details.
