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
