Certified Leadership Coach | Former International CEO | INSEAD Alumni
Transform your global leadership impact: Former CEO & Board Member who led 40+ countries now coaches executives through international challenges. Master stakeholder dynamics, cross-cultural teams & executive presence with proven strategies.
My 25-year journey from engineer to CEO to Global Executive Board Member taught me that exceptional leadership transcends borders and cultures. Through our coaching partnership, I help you develop the sophisticated capabilities that today's interconnected business world demands—whether you're stepping into your first international role or elevating your global executive presence.
My track record speaks to the challenges you face: I've doubled international sales while transforming organizations, negotiated with Fortune 500 giants like General Electric and DaimlerChrysler, and led successful turnarounds across Europe, Americas, and Asia. Fluent in five languages and seasoned across American directness, German precision, and Asian relationship-building, I bring nuanced understanding to the invisible dynamics that determine global leadership success.
I specialize in coaching executives who must unite diverse teams, influence complex stakeholder networks, and deliver results across cultural boundaries. Together, we'll develop your authentic leadership style that commands respect in any boardroom—from Silicon Valley to Tokyo. Through powerful questions and real-world frameworks, I help you navigate the paradoxes of global leadership: when to standardize versus localize, how to build trust across time zones, and ways to turn cultural differences into competitive advantages.
Industries I have served: Automotive, chemical, bearing, wood, food, marine, oil & gas, steel, cement, mining, pharmaceuticals, mining, pulp & paper, textile, rail and wind power.
Countries where I have managed personnel: Canada, US, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxemburg, UK, GB, France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Poland, Turkey, South Africa, India, Vietnam, Thailand, China, South Korea, Japan, Australia.
I do coaching in English, German, French and Spanish language.
