reorganizations
I work alongside executive teams to lead, structure, and move forward initiatives that require a combination of business experience, deep data understanding, strong leadership capabilities, and a true execution mindset.
My focus areas include business transformation, leadership of internal and external teams, data / intelligence / AI strategy, as well as product commercialization and launch.

Approach
A 30-minute conversation
I understand your situation, and will quickly tell you whether my profile can match your need.
Situation assessment & proposal
I prepare a proposal that is easy to read, transparent, and free of surprises.
How cost and budget work →Define success together
Together, from the very start, we define the criteria, objectives, and indicators that will determine what success means for this mandate.
Embedded engagement
I join your leadership team for a defined period. Part time, but fully committed.
