I empower leaders and teams to substantiate decisions derived from critical views on ideas, products and services. I built multiple startups and now support startup teams in understanding better their prospects, fostering informed decisions on their team, market, and product. As IMD IECC Executive Coach I use a combination of systemic and psychodynamic methods to support leaders and teams raising the bar of their personal and organizational competence.
