As a strategic management scholar and business advisor, I focus on integrating strategy, resilience, and sustainability. My passion lies in shaping the evolution of strategy processes to improve competitiveness and accelerate positive business impact. Currently, my research and advisory work explores how AI-augmented and human-centric strategic foresight frameworks can amplify situational awareness, value creation, intelligent resource use, and resilience in times of uncertainty and complex global challenges. Ultimately, I strive to equip current and future business leaders with advanced strategic capabilities needed to build a thriving future for both business and society.

My expertise is anchored in more than two decades of international experience as a strategy consultant and business leader across the EU and USA. Collaborating with C-suite executives and management leadership teams globally, I have a proven track record of designing state-of-the-art strategy processes that drive top- and bottom-line performance for Fortune 500 companies and mid-sized market leaders. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of learning hands-on from leading global authorities in the strategy and performance management fields.

Today, I translate my practical and academic expertise into the classroom, ongoing research, and business practice, actively sharing my insights as speaker, author, and executive advisor. I serve as a Full Professor of Strategic Management at the Neu-Ulm University of Applied Sciences in Germany, and lecture on sustainable strategy and business transformation at globally recognized institutions including EDHEC, ESCP, and EBS Executive School across Germany, France, Switzerland, and the USA. From September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, I am serving as a Visiting Scholar at the University of San Diego, Knauss School of Business, in the USA.

I hold a joint diploma in Mechanical Engineering and Business Management (Dipl.-Wirtsch.-Ing.) and earned my doctorate in Strategic Management from EBS Business School in Germany.
