Innovation und Entwicklung am Puls der Zeit
 
Innovation and Development at the Pulse of Time
 
 

To accompany in new and further development is my passion

The new and further development of products, organizations and regions on a regional, national and European level have shaped my professional activities for more than 20 years. In doing so, it is very important to me to combine strategic-impact-oriented considerations with operational experience - ideally made by myself. It is important to establish and continuously improve understanding and communication with internal and external stakeholders in order to jointly develop “a common mental model” and solutions for a successful future in a well-founded, compliant and pragmatic manner, without overwhelming the system and its viability in terms of expertise and time.
