•In the course of the companies I founded, built, worked for, failed at or sold, I have done pretty much everything from defining the company’s vision, deriving a concise strategy and underlying business objectives, negotiating investment and key contracts, managing sometimes highly politically charged investor relations, managing international press, leading my teams through constant transformation, to enabling and participating in a highly efficient environment for research and development.
But above all, I am a strategist, people leader, geek, proper technology & data nerd and networker at heart – not necessarily in this order.
I have been allowed to participate in the C-suite of multinational corporates and advised Boards of multinational corporates, typically outperforming my targets, identifying undiscovered risks and opportunities, pragmatically balancing technological idiosyncrasies with business needs.
Over the past years, I've been CEO of a Private Equity owned consumer finance business. I have utterly enjoyed my role in transforming this 70 year old business into a modern FinTech company and lead its ongoing cultural, business and technological transformation towards being the most recommended & responsible deferred payment option.
