Does it scale?

I am an experienced executive manager with a proven track record of creating stake- and shareholder value.

I excel in scaling organizations, expanding customer reach on a global scale.
This both in established as well as in disruptive markets.
Passionate about technology and developing a strategy to bring complex solutions to market, always keeping customer-centricity in mind along the whole value chain.

During the past years I was happy to take part in the energy transition: I spend 15 fruitful years at industry leader SMA Solar Technology AG, a global player in solar.
This truly exciting and global evolution further shaped my insistence on durable and sustainable – in all senses – business.

My leadership style centers on building self-driven, diverse teams that passionately share a common vision.
Having broad international experience, I navigate and harmonize different business cultures, to allow diverse perspectives towards reaching our strategic goals.

My decision-making is data-driven and value-oriented, supported by my background in engineering and market-driven roles. This, combined with pragmatism and a focus on results. aligning operational strategies with financial objectives.
