Courage. Change. Action.

Entrepreneur bridging Europe & the US, Author, Speaker, ChangeRider.

Discover how my mindset drives (digital) transformation – in business and society.

ABOUT ME

I’m a German entrepreneur, thought leader, and advocate for digital transformation with a human face. With over 20 years of leadership experience, I’ve founded and scaled multiple startups, led a successful consulting exit to EY, and inspired millions through media and stage.

Germany has what it takes to lead – but too often we doubt ourselves. I want to reignite belief, courage, and action.

I’ve started and run several companies as CEO — like digital pioneer etventure and packaging player alesco, both with 200+ people on board.

Nothing matters more to me than my family. My wife and I are raising our four kids with as little screen time as possible — and a whole lot of real-life moments.
