In 1984 I was born in Aachen Germany. Currently I live and do many business trips in Germany and abroad. My educational backround is information systems management, specialized in information security and mobile engineering. The last 15+years I worked in very ground positions in the field of Information Technology and Management in several industries like aviation and aerospace, finance, medical research, transport and mobility etc. If you are curious to learn more about my life and how it influenced me to build my expertise....

I do have 15+ years of professional international experience in information systems management, specialised in IT Security, mobile business & engineering, business and process management. I spent many years in IT consulting, from 2015-2020 as business owner and executive coach and currently as Chief Information Security Officer for critical infrastructure. My career path was never a single expertise journey. It was always combined with parallel multisectoral projects and a mix of human and computer understanding. I used my vertical knowledge in information technology and information systems to gather horizontal cross-industry experience, including public services, eHealth, pharmaceutical & medical research, transport and mobility, energy, military and aerospace, supply chain, startups, SME´s and more.

As founder and entrepreneur I am used on leadership of international, multicultural and virtual teams. I´m able to understand very quick and help with business, technical and human resource challenges.

As expert for digital innovation and blockchain I do support Inter/National and municipal public institutions and organisations in defining innovative, secure and sustainable projects (HO2020) within the frame of European Commission´s digital single market - digital innovation and blockchain.  

Very often I ´m invited in diverse conferences or organizations as keynote speaker to talk about topics related to digital innovation, IT Security, and their society & social impacts and ethics. Find out where I was so far ...

Is the combination of three crucial and core topics for any business existence.
As business coach we work together on defining your personal and business values, goals, vision and will work towards on developing a roadmap.

As digital coach I help your company to addresses diverse challenges (business - finance, technical or HR) and work with technics to filter, evaluate ideas and move on developing practical solutions.

Every business must protect their own, as well their customers, assets. As your  IT Security coaching I`ll navigate you through the legal and standard requirements (ISO27001/27002, BSI, B3S etc). I´ll guide you to develope the right IT Security guidelines and measures according to your specific sector business needs, audit results and actual official regulations. You ´ll be able to develope a secure digital business with respect of any interaction within and outside of your company.

My beliefs

Very often in business, we are convinced that things go wrong because of the technology. When we reflect and go back in retrospective we realise, the factors were mixed - Technology, Timing and Team (3T). Due to my experience in cross industries and multicultural businesses, I do have the ability and flexibility, to switch quickly in all 3T topics, understand your specific situation and combine knowledge to dive deeper into your situation. 

I do not believe in competition. I believe in co-creation and cooperation. Thus I´m building a strong network of companies with diverse expertise that can support each other at any point with any kind of challenges.
Besides all above, I´m business angel and mentor especially for SME´s and corporates.
