Executive sparring for entrepreneurs and top leaders
At the top of a company, knowledge is rarely what is missing. What is missing is honest challenge.
I am a neutral and direct sparring partner for entrepreneurs and top leaders. The thinking space is the method: reflection, alternative perspectives and orientation. The result is clarity and focus, decisions with substance, and the ability to shape change consciously and effectively.
More than 30 years of personal accountability for results as an entrepreneur, consultant and senior executive, combined with analytical depth, systemic thinking and a clear eye for how things connect.
Impact shows where decisions have substance, provide orientation and enable action – for people, teams and organisations.
A first conversation is about getting to know each other and clarifying whether working together makes sense for both sides.

Change is a constant.
Dealing with it takes flexibility, courage and the ability to shape the future consciously and proactively.
I
Leadership creates orientation.
It brings clarity to goals, strategy and priorities, puts things into context and keeps the big picture in view in complex situations.
II
Reflection as potential for growth.
It opens up perspectives, broadens viewpoints and creates a sound basis for decisions.
III
The how makes the difference.
It determines whether people come along and whether initiatives take effect — where people, culture, strategy and structure work in harmony.
I create a protected thinking space that offers distance from day-to-day business and encourages focused thinking. An environment in which leaders can pause, take stock and look at complex situations with clarity.
In the thinking space, reflection is at the centre.
Examining one’s own actions, assumptions and patterns sharpens the view of what matters. At the same time, different perspectives, scenarios and connections become visible and structured.
This creates orientation.
Clarity on goals, priorities and strategic guardrails forms the basis for leadership and communication.
On this basis, well-founded decisions become possible.
They lead to action, focus responsibility and make change manageable.
Impact shows in clarity and focus.
It is clear what really matters, and the focus is on the relevant issues.
01
Decisions have substance.
They are comprehensible, robust and give direction.
02
Leadership gains orientation.
Strategic guardrails are clear; communication is precise and consistent.
03
The ability to act is tangible.
Strategic initiatives are implemented and change is actively shaped.
04
The impact is lasting.
In focused leadership, clear decisions and an organisation aligned on a shared future and impact.
I combine entrepreneurial experience with analytical depth.
More than 30 years of personal accountability for results in an international B2B environment, many of them in leadership roles in controlling, marketing and sales.
I know leadership from my own responsibility.
As a manager, entrepreneur, managing director and board member, I have prepared, made and implemented strategic decisions.
My profile is that of a generalist.
I keep sight of complex interrelationships and, at the same time, go into depth whenever well-founded decisions require it.
Today I work in a range of roles.

This experience makes me a sparring partner on equal footing.
I do not bring a toolbox of methods, but more than 30 years of decisions – my own and those of others. I work calmly, in a structured way and with analytical clarity.
Staying grounded matters to me personally, too.
I was born in Tyrol in 1972, am married, the father of two grown-up children and have lived in Liechtenstein for many years.
The first conversation creates clarity.
We get to know each other, clarify your concerns and expectations and place them in their specific context.
The focus is on fit.
Whether we can envisage working together and whether it adds value for you becomes clear in our conversation.
Openness creates clarity and trust.
Our first conversation is confidential.
Mandates usually come through referrals.
Excellent results come from focus and close collaboration – which is why I only work with a small number of selected companies at any one time.
I look forward to hearing from you.
