As a Strategy Scholar and Executive Advisor, I am passionate about bringing together strategy, resilience, and sustainability to help organizations strengthen competitiveness and create lasting value for business and society. My current research and advisory work explores how AI-augmented, human-centric strategic foresight can help leaders navigate uncertainty, make better strategic decisions, and turn complex challenges into new opportunities.
My perspective is shaped by more than two decades of international experience as a strategy consultant and business leader across Europe and the United States. Working closely with C-suite executives and leadership teams, I have had the privilege of helping Fortune 500 companies and mid-sized market leaders design innovative strategy processes that improve performance and support sustainable growth.
Today, I enjoy bridging academic thinking and business practice through research, teaching, executive education, and strategic advisory. I serve as a Full Professor of Strategic Management at Neu-Ulm University of Applied Sciences in Germany and teach at leading institutions, including EDHEC, ESCP, and EBS Executive School. I am currently also a Visiting Scholar at the University of San Diego’s Knauss School of Business (2026–2027).
With a background in Mechanical Engineering and Business Management and a doctorate in Strategic Management, I am most inspired by working with people, exchanging ideas, and developing the strategic capabilities leaders need to create lasting impact and shape a thriving future. I always welcome fresh perspectives and inspiring conversations. Let’s connect and explore new opportunities.
