TF 1972 / THE PERSONAL EDITION ISSUE 001
Being busy does not automatically create value.
Entrepreneur. Navigator. Mentor. Human.
I am curious about how things work and what becomes possible when people bring their ideas and experience together.
As an entrepreneur, I have seen how new technologies, ideas and people can make change possible together. I share my experiences and questions in conversation, in teaching and with audiences.
I see connections where they are not always obvious. They can lead to fresh perspectives, shared paths and sometimes something that did not exist before.
THE STORIES BEHIND THE PERSONSCROLL TO EXPLORE ↓
01 — THE HUMAN
More than the sum of my roles.
A life cannot be reduced to job titles. I am interested in people, encounters, decisions and the question of what really drives us.
I enjoy speaking in images and often develop solutions and new ideas through conversation. A different perspective can change a question. Sometimes it can change the direction, too.
READ MY STORY ↗
I am not interested in how busy we are. I am interested in what we change.
02 — THE SAILOR
The wind does not decide the direction.
For me, sailing is more than sport. On the water, trust, responsibility and the crew matter. And sometimes the best decision is to find a new course.
It all began at school. The sea and the people on board have been part of my life ever since. I love the elements, the challenges at sea and the moments when I grow beyond my own limits.

03 — THE ENTREPRENEUR
Turning ideas into impact.
Building, developing, investing and connecting. The different businesses share common convictions: curiosity, responsibility and a desire to create real value.
I am interested in how an idea becomes something that moves people and businesses forward. That takes different skills and people who bring them together.

The right questions change everything.
To me, supporting people is not about prescribing answers. It means opening up perspectives, seeing connections and finding a clear course together.
As a university lecturer for young talent, a mentor for teams and a coach for leaders, I share what I have learned. I want to enable people to shape change and find their own path.
MORE ABOUT FINDING DIRECTION ↗
Direction does not come from more information. It comes from asking the right questions.
05 — THE PEOPLE
No one becomes who they are alone.
Companions. Friends. Partners. People who asked questions, opened new paths or made things happen with me.
I have been fortunate to meet many remarkable people. They have broadened my perspective, inspired me and accompanied me over many years. They are part of my story, and I look forward to those I have yet to meet.
