»My goal is to support people in companies to understand  their business. Leadership is to bring the strategy to people so that it makes sense, not only to create EBIT«

»When I was working inside the companies, I communicated with the external press and stakeholders.  Now I work as an external facilitator, communicating in a neutral perspective by presenting the strategy of the company. It was like inside-out and now outside-in.«
