CONCEPT AND MANAGEMENT

You are working on a business idea or a project in development cooperation?

I will assist you in the development of your concept, analysing feasibility, presentation to donors, budget, identification of stake holders and partners with implementation as well as communication.

And if needed I can manage and steer your project.

INTERCULTURAL TRAINING AND CONSULTANCY

You are working in or with multinational teams and need to overcome logjams and optimise the strategic setup?

As a certified business trainer, I will accompany you and your team members with trainings and coachings to analyse underlying cultural issues, constellations and challenges and to develop strategies and practical solutions.

ASIA, NORTH AFRICA, EUROPE

With long standing project experience and contacts in Asia and North Africa, I am a European by conviction.
My passion is to link these experiences and to create new connections between them.

Politics, economics, society, culture and cultures, I approach them from a holistic point of view.

For more than 20 years, I have been working on international business issues.

Corporate strategies for market entry and macro-economic scenarios are both of interest to me.
From scratch, I consider general frameworks and social impacts of business activities.

What skills does one need to succeed in business and one’s personal life and to be a happy person?
Today? Tomorrow?
How can one discover and develop talents? And tis beyont just technical skills. Communication skills, team spirit and a hands-on approach in projets are the key to success and it pays off to invest in them at any level of your team.

This is where I come from.

For more than 20 years this background has been my inspiration when working on different subjects and my motivation to develop new ideas and make more discoveries.
