My Expertise

During the first phase of my career, I held various successful management positions in international transport logistics, based in Basel, Geneva, and New York. I launched my second career in 2002, moving into human resources and management consultancy.
In recent years, I have served as a Member of the Board and Managing Director of an international executive search firm. Additionally, I have worked as a Senior Outplacement Consultant for the global market leader in career transition and leadership development.

My consulting focus
  • Many years of experience in career planning for specialists and managers
  • Support and guidance of C-level personalities in determining their position and professional reorientation.
  • Business coach and sparring partner for leadership issues and change processes
My passions As half a Dane, I am fascinated by Nordic culture and often visit Denmark with my Danish wife. I am also an active drummer and board member of a Fasnacht clique and enjoy “die drey scheenschte Dääg” in Basel every year. Cooking and oenology are also among my hobbies, and our Parson Jack Russell (dog) takes care of our health with long walks.
