Why I Do This

I’ve seen brilliant young professionals fail — not because they lacked intelligence, but because nobody taught them how leadership really works in the field.

The global market doesn’t care about good intentions.
It rewards those who can deliver — ethically, efficiently, sustainably.

My mission is to motivate and support NxtGen leaders and help them position themselves for success.

Failure is not an option!

Once again: I have seen people who failed and were in their early to mid-30s. They then invested 5-10 years of their time and money in an unsuccessful project. In their early 40s or so, they started over again.

But what does that mean? It means that they lost an enormous amount of valuable time.

That's why I don't believe in the saying, “It doesn't matter if you fail, you can learn from your mistakes.” No! No sensible manager considers failure a positive experience!

I say: Failure is not an option!

My experience in an international company has shaped me.

My career began in the heart of one of the world’s most respected industrial corporations — SIEMENS AG.
As part of the Performance Controlling Team at Corporate Headquarters, I worked alongside leaders like Joe Kaeser (former CEO of Siemens AG) and Ralf Thomas (current CFO), where I learned what true managerial excellence means: clarity, responsibility, and measurable results.

Before that, I completed my vocational training as an industrial clerk and later led projects in Medical Technology, focusing on imaging systems such as MRT, CT, and Nuclear Medicine.

This combination of commercial, technical, and leadership experience shaped the way I think and work today: structured, data-driven, and execution-focused.

Over the past 25 years, I have built expertise in Budgeting, Financial Reporting, Controlling, and Organizational Design, always guided by one principle: performance and integrity belong together.

My academic path — three university degrees culminating in a PhD from Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich (LMU) — sharpened my analytical mindset. As a lecturer at LMU and the University of Applied Sciences for Public Administration and Finance in Ludwigsburg, I continue to bridge academic insight with corporate reality.

But my mission is clear:
To advance the Next Generation of leaders.
To prepare them for a world defined by speed, competition, and transformation.

Because the global race for excellence has already begun — and only those who combine competence, discipline, and foresight will thrive.
