I build businesses — inside a global corporation, and alongside founders.

For more than 20 years I have been developing service businesses — as managing director of international group subsidiaries, as the person responsible for building new units from scratch, and as an advisor to founders and small companies. The common thread: I take business models from idea to reliable operation. Structures, numbers, processes — and the people who work with them.
Employed
At HOCHTIEF ViCon, the consulting and digitalisation arm of HOCHTIEF Engineering, I work as a project manager at the intersection of construction and digital transformation: project management with digital methods, information management, and the development of the service portfolio.
Most recently, I built up the company's business development office and led it on an interim basis until handover to its permanent head — including special projects for executive management in strategy, sales processes and benchmarking.
Independent
As an independent consultant I support founders and small service businesses on commercial questions:
Founder advisory. From business idea to viable business model — business plan, financial planning, profitability, financing and public funding programmes.
Building and developing companies. Structures, processes and planning for young and growing service businesses — from the first employee to scaling up.
International founders. Guiding international entrepreneurs building a company in Germany — from feasibility review to the first year of operations.
My consulting practice is independent of my role at HOCHTIEF and operates outside the construction sector.
