"Sometimes if you want to see a change for the better, you have to take things into your own hands..."- Clint Eastwood…and do it yourself.As an executive and professional NED with an entrepreneurial and positive mindset, I am motivated to take control of situations and to create something new and valuable. I am driven by the passion to pursue my vision and the perseverance to overcome the challenges and risks that I face along the way.I strive to be a leader and a positive influence in everything I do, whether it is in my family, my work, or my community. I seek to collaborate with others, act with agility and discipline, and achieve excellence and reliability in my endeavours. I commit to being open-minded, consistent, and efficient in my actions and decisions. I trust my instincts, keep my word, and treat others with respect.I enjoy creating new things, traveling the world, and spending time with my loved ones. I aspire to appreciate the world around me and make a positive difference for myself and others. My aim is to live a joyful, wholesome, and fulfilling life that reflects my fundamental beliefs, passions, and talents.These are my core values that guide my behaviour and choices in every aspect of my life, and that also entail listening to and respecting the beliefs of others to establish trust and mutual understanding.My professional career has mostly been in the financial services industry, and I still find it very rewarding and satisfying. I am currently holding NED and supervisory board positions on over 150 companies in Germany, including divisions of some large multinational businesses as well as selected private equity and real estate investment programs.I feel honoured to have contributed to many projects that involved establishing vibrant organisations, developing talent and leadership, transformation, changing brands and cultures in fast changing settings.
