Management consulting & coaching · Organizational development · Digital & regulatory change · Financial PMO
I support leaders and teams through complex digital and regulatory programs: sound governance, financial control, and delivery discipline, combined with coaching that strengthens how people collaborate, decide, and follow through when pressure is high.
I work in a dual role: as a management consultant I bring structure to portfolios, finances, and operating models; as a coach I help teams build the habits of collaboration that make those models stick. The strongest framework fails when roles are unclear, trust is low, or decisions stall, so I treat process design and how people work together as one conversation, not two.
My foundation is the Diplom-Kauffrau für Europäische Wirtschaft (FH), a German business degree comparable to an MBA, together with fifteen years as project lead, PMO lead, and IT project lead in large programs. I design governance and steering for digital and AI-related change (including EU AI Act readiness, risk and control frameworks, and executive-ready reporting).
Training as an art & creative therapist and movement coach informs how I facilitate difficult topics, reduce friction in groups, and keep leadership grounded under complexity. I combine corporate-scale experience with pragmatic, startup-style execution, always anchored in what teams can sustain in day-to-day work.
When portfolios are complex, leadership needs one coherent story on cost, risk, and commitments, not competing versions of the truth.
Blueprints only pay off when processes, decision rights, and day-to-day program rhythm match how your organization actually works.
Even strong governance stalls when trust, roles, or candor break down; I bring consulting and coaching together when you need both.

Below is the practical stuff procurement and sponsors care about: how the work runs, what you get, and how it lands with teams. Product names matter less than fit with how you already govern and report.
Clear scope, cadence, and sponsor touchpoints from the start, whether the need is financial PMO, process and governance design, program leadership, coaching, or a deliberate mix.
Rolling views on cost, risk, and delivery that match your committees: what changed, why it matters, and what decision you need, without drowning leadership in detail.
Decision logs, interface maps, process and target operating models, control and audit narratives, and reporting packs your organization can own after the assignment.
I work inside your landscape, commonly SAP-centric process and data environments plus the collaboration and reporting tools you already use, so knowledge stays with you.
Rhythm and rigor are matched to regulation, dependency risk, and team maturity, not a one-size label. The goal is predictability and clean handovers, not methodology theatre.
When stakes are high, I help leaders and teams align on how they decide, escalate, and speak honestly under pressure, so structure in slides becomes behavior in the room.
Frameworks and software are only useful when people share the same story about purpose, roles, and trade-offs. That is the thread between consulting and coaching.
If you want stronger delivery discipline and healthier collaboration in the same engagement, I would be glad to explore fit, whether the priority is financial PMO, governance, program leadership, or team coaching.
