Fast-moving times demanddecisive leadership
AI is reshaping margins and business models in B2B SaaS. The EU AI Act has been in force since August 2024 — full high-risk requirements apply from August 2026. Mastering this operationally and regulatorily requires someone who knows every bolt in the engine and where the journey is heading. I'm ready to deliver from day 1 — with a dev team and experienced leaders in the background when it matters.

SITUATIONS
When am I called?
Leadership Vacancy
The CEO or COO is gone. Operations need to continue, the team needs direction, and investors want to know who's in charge.
Post-Merger Integration
The deal is done. Two organizations, two tech stacks, two cultures. That won't come together without operational leadership.
Restructuring & Turnaround
Costs are running, delivery is stalling, numbers don't match the plan. Someone needs to create transparency and make decisions within weeks.
Delivery & AI Transformation
The roadmap isn't moving. Nearshore teams are underdelivering. AI is on the board agenda, but operationally not much is happening. Whoever leads here needs to understand technology.
TRACK RECORD
B2B software since 2004.

ABOUT ME
Just do it. Now.


I'm an entrepreneur. That's what I've been in every mandate and every role, in startups, scale-ups, and corporates. The title changes. The mindset stays.
Getting on top of new topics fast, finding the screw in the gearbox and loosening it. That's what drives me. Growth gets less of a head start today than it did five years ago. Less room, more discipline, faster decisions. That's exactly when I get the call.
In the gliding club, the bricklayer flew with the professor, and they sat at the same table that evening. That's where I learned early that substance beats hierarchy. Today I fly actively, PPL(A) with night and seaplane ratings. When the horizon disappears, you rely on your instruments, structure, and training. That's how I run companies.
I've kept that technical depth through every phase and pass it on today at the University of Zurich.
