Career

I trained as an Industrial Engineer, with a focus on building reliable operating systems.

Early roles at Daimler-Benz and Alstom shaped my operating style: clear ownership, measurable delivery, and disciplined execution.

McKinsey sharpened my judgement under pressure and my ability to make clean decisions with imperfect information.

I later moved into ownership and board roles, working hands-on through growth, restructurings, and succession transitions.

Industrial Engineering shaped how I think: systems first, people always. I started in mobility and infrastructure, then moved into strategy and leadership roles in international environments.

Later, I moved into ownership and board work, mostly in mid-market companies facing growth, complexity, or a transition in control.

My focus is control transitions and succession. I help build organisations that remain stable when leadership changes.

I work long term and discreetly, with a clear preference for real economy businesses where execution matters more than narratives.
