Failure isn’t just a negative; it’s essential for growth. I strongly believe in entrepreneurship and the courage to experiment. Real success emerges from passion—not force. Innovative and unconventional solutions inspire me because it’s the bold who transform the world.
Try, Fail, Evolve, Repeat – Aim for Excellence.

From strategy to DevOps
Doing things right is essential — almost is not enough.
I fluently navigate between big-picture strategies and low level details. Every new venture begins by understanding the big picture. The vision. Only once the big picture is clear do details gain their significance. Without clarity on the bigger picture, details lose their meaning.
My professional scope covers everything from strategic planning to hands-on implementation in IT, particularly in infrastructure. I’ve contributed to IT service development, portfolio and strategy management, IT-sourcing, and cloud transformation projects. My innovative thinking and broad experience consistently add substantial value.
Envision a cycle,
such as:
VISION
Building True Change
Creating something new starts by envisioning the desired future, not just by improving what currently exists. Once we clearly define the target state, we can identify what’s truly impossible and what’s only seemingly impossible.

Integrating the Environment
Economics and environmental responsibility are not conflicting alternatives—they complement each other. Every decision should integrate sustainability, ensuring a resilient future for generations to come.
Optimized Economy
Financial decisions must be logical. Wise financial choices most commonly mean investing sensibly rather than saving merely for the sake of saving.
Growth through Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship is the catalyst for innovation. It offers individuals the best opportunity for growth, focusing their energy on their passions and enabling them to deliver their greatest value.
Reducing Polarization
Reducing societal and economic polarization requires a mindset shift. We must abandon the belief that one person’s gain inevitably means another’s loss. Cooperation is simpler—and more effective—than we often think.
VALUES
Innovation
Developing sustainable, forward-thinking solutions for genuine challenges.
Integrity
Honesty is foundational, the cornerstone of all trust.
Openness
Share your knowledge and skills openly—contribute to collective growth. Sharing benefits everyone.
Community
More collaboration, less division.
Environmental Responsibility
Sustainability and economics can thrive together, especially when leveraging digitalization.
Determination
Consistently strive for excellence through continuous learning and self-improvement.

Entrepreneur, Innovator, and Catalyst for Change
My professional journey includes a significant 22-year tenure at the same company, which profoundly shaped my growth and ultimately empowered me to spread my wings as an entrepreneur.
When I commit, I give 200%. Persistence has carried me forward through even the toughest challenges.
Solving seemingly impossible problems is what drives me most in my work.
I deeply admire visionaries like Steve Jobs, who challenge traditional ways of thinking. For instance, Jobs’s philosophy of placing designers, rather than engineers, at the forefront of product design resonates deeply with me. True innovation happens when experts from different fields collaborate.
My father, a farmer and entrepreneur, has profoundly influenced me through his honesty and straightforwardness, providing a solid foundation for my values and direction.
