Each year has been a chapter filled with invaluable lessons, intricate problem-solving, and the cultivation of innovative strategies.

Our extensive experience serves as a guiding compass, steering our commitment to excellence and facilitating the transformational journey of our clients.

Our Inspiration and my Journey

Our work approach stems from a unique blend of experiences, including my involvement in motorcycle racing in the pits, where I served in the capacity of an advertising and public relations manager. These engagements were within small racing teams, and volunteer organizations have significantly influenced my professional journey. They have been pivotal in shaping my perspective on organizational and personal development. I’ve witnessed firsthand in motorsport and volunteer organizations how focused performance, motivation, and sheer passion can drive exceptional results. We apply these principles in the business world, aiming for heightened productivity, effectiveness, and efficiency through purpose and passion.

My expertise is rooted in a robust educational background encompassing a degree in Business Economics from ZHAW, a master’s in Organizational Psychology from Bergische Universität, and a master’s in Organizational Consulting and Coaching from Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften. These theoretical foundations form the backbone of our approach, complemented by practical hands-on experience and a commitment to continuous learning. This amalgamation enables us to provide practical, actionable strategies for organizational, team, and individual development.
