About
Dear Sir or Madam,
as an experienced executive and board member with 25+ years in software innovation, energy technology and AI. I currently serve as Chairman of the Supervisory Board at PowerBrainShop (NL), where we pioneered Edge AI for energy asset monitoring and predictive maintenance, and as a Supervisory Board member at BSConsult GmbH (DEU) and InstallHUB (UK).
What makes me an effective advisor and board member is my proven ability to blend deep technical expertise with strategic commercial leadership. I’ve led high-growth sales and business development at global players like GE, Siemens, IBM, Trilliant, Wirepas, and eSmart Systems, delivering multimillion-euro revenue growth, major contracts (e.g., €70M drone pipeline, Bosch €25M deal), and successful market entries across Europe, Middle East, Africa, and beyond. My hands-on experience spans Smart Grid, Metering, AI/ML, IIoT, Drones, energy storage, and regulatory affairs, including government representation (ZVEI, BSI, BMWi) and political advisory roles.
I excel at providing strategic direction, governance, risk management, and scaling operations in matrix organizations and startups. My international network of C-level software, energy and infrastructure executives, partners, and stakeholders, combined with fluency in German and English, enables me to open doors, navigate complex regulations, and drive sustainable growth.
Companies that benefit most from my expertise include:
Early- to mid-stage software, infrastructure and energy tech, AI, and IoT startups (especially in grid resilience, predictive maintenance, EMS, smart metering, or edge AI)
Scale-ups expanding in Europe (DACH, BeNeLux, Nordics) or emerging markets (Africa, USA, South America, Asia-Pacific)
Firms seeking to bridge technical innovation with commercial success, enter new markets, or strengthen governance and investor relations.
I’m passionate about guiding ambitious companies toward resilience, profitability, and impact in the energy transition. Let’s connect if you’re building the next generation of infrastructure intelligence.
