I'm a CFO guy and consultant with 10+ years of experience in finance. I love supporting high-growth companies in building up their finance processes and designing financial planning & controlling processes for retail companies.
I love exploring the world and different cultures. I try to do it as much as possible. My once-in-a-lifetime experience was my 9-months world trip, on which I visited 21 countries.
I like founding my own companies or support founders with their ambitious expansion plans. I implement the structure and processes, which are essential for the business success.
I regulary speak at conferences and universities about topics like start-ups, finance and life coaching.
I coach and mentor online through 1:1 sessions.
