Innovation requires clarity in leadership and structure.

I advise owners, CEOs, founder-CEOs and leadership teams when direction must be sharpened, responsibilities clarified and governance realigned.

My work centers on direction, accountability and decision capability — ensuring organizations remain steady and effective, even under pressure.

Services

I work on the architecture of leadership — in established companies and in technology-driven ventures alike:

Transformation Architecture in SME

Strategy only becomes effective when direction, accountability and decision logic are aligned.

Leadership & Governance in Start-ups

As organizations grow, leadership structures must mature with them.

Leadership Teams in Transformation

Execution depends on shared clarity at the top.

Executive Sparring

When entrepreneurial decisions carry structural consequences.

Sharpen priorities and navigate uncertainty with clarity
Represent role, responsibility and communication with consistency across the organization
Reflect on and exercise leadership responsibly in demanding situations

• Managing Partner, Compass & Spine GmbH

• Board Member, sustainable natives eG

• Founder & CEO of technology ventures

• CEO, Save the Children Germany

• Member of supervisory and advisory boards

Transformation becomes effective when three dimensions are consciously aligned:

Compass — Direction
Strategic focus and clear priorities.

Architecture — Structure
Roles, decision logic and governance.

Spine — Leadership Capability
Accountability and steadiness in demanding situations.

Whether in an established company or a technology-driven venture — when these dimensions drift apart, friction and structural strain emerge.
