Succession planning
Succession is more than a transfer agreement. I connect entrepreneurial logic with the people, expectations and emotions behind it.
People · Business · Future
Change requires clarity. And the right people.
I support SMEs and entrepreneurs in Switzerland and internationally with decisions that shape the future: succession, key appointments, and the development of people and organisations.
Four areas.
One standard.
No off-the-shelf concepts. I listen, ask the right questions and contribute experience, sound judgement and an independent perspective – discreetly, reliably and across borders.
Executive Search
Finding key people who deliver professionally and fit on a human level. Thorough, direct and focused on lasting impact.
People development
Recognising potential, strengthening accountability and advancing leadership so development becomes visible in everyday work.
Entrepreneurial sparring
A peer-level counterpart for clear thinking, honest reflection and sound decisions in demanding situations.
My mindset is not fine print.
I believe in candour with respect. In experience without pretence. And in technology's potential – while responsibility, intuition and trust remain human.
Long-term over quick.A strong appointment proves its value not on day one, but over years.
Personal over generic.Every starting point is different. That is why my work begins with listening.
Clear over complicated.I say what I see – clearly, directly and with a focus on solutions.
I use AI to see more.
I trust people to make the right decisions.

Experience that connects
Entrepreneurial thinking. Human judgement.
I know companies from several perspectives: as a CEO, board member, executive, recruitment adviser and entrepreneur. This experience helps me understand situations quickly without jumping to conclusions.
My strength lies where strategy and people meet. I combine a robust network with direct outreach, clear judgement and a genuine drive to bring the right people together.
