About
Building industrial technology businesses, from strategy to execution.
My career has been shaped by building businesses under real-world conditions: new markets, limited resources, and high complexity.
Over the past 15+ years, I have built, scaled, and stabilized industrial companies across Europe, North America, and Asia — often in situations without a blueprint, where execution mattered more than theory.
I work hands-on at the intersection of market, organization, and technology: from go-to-market strategy and sales & supply-chain structures to operational systems such as CRM, ERP, and reporting. For me, strategy does not end with a concept — it ends with measurable results.
Outside of work, I find balance in sailing and hiking. Both strongly influence how I work: setting a clear course, planning ahead, navigating uncertainty, and making decisions as conditions change.
- Built international industrial businesses from the ground up, including in the U.S., China, and APAC
- Scaled revenue from $0.8M to $13.5M while achieving >15% EBITDA
- Established customer-centric go-to-market models (NPS >60, NRR ~126%)
- Designed and implemented custom CRM, ERP, and accounting systems for real operational workflows
- Developed partner and distribution networks across North America, APAC, and MENA

Personal
Away from the desk, I prefer weather, water, and open terrain.
Skiing, cycling, and hiking keep me outside, but sailing is the one I come back to most. On the water, plans matter, conditions change, and good decisions come from reading both the instruments and the horizon.
