Speaking
SPEAKING.
I speak at conferences, in companies, and on podcasts about AI, growth, and operating in private equity environments. Only talks grounded in what I have actually built and transformed.

Topics
AI in the P&L
Not in the deck.
Most AI initiatives produce slides and pilots. This talk is about the other kind: use cases that move EBITDA. How to score them, prioritize them, and deploy them in organizations that can't afford to wait for a perfect data strategy. Grounded in real implementations across PE portfolio companies.

Scaling under PE Pressure
Growth strategy when time is not on your side.
Private equity sets the clock. How do you build a growth strategy that survives a 3-5 year hold period, satisfies investors, and doesn't destroy the business in the process? Drawn from 10+ years across KKR and PSG-backed companies, with specific playbooks for commercial growth and P&L ownership.

Transformation at Scale
Changing organizations without breaking them.
What it actually takes to run a transformation program across thousands of employees — not the roadmap version, but the human version. Change management, stakeholder alignment, and how to keep revenue growing while rebuilding the engine. From the StepStone transformation: +25% revenue, 3,000+ people, delivered on time.

From market entry to operational scaling.
How to enter new markets without recreating the whole company each time.

How I work
No templates
Every talk is built for the audience and context. I don't recycle slide decks.
Substance first
If the audience can't take something actionable back to their desk, it wasn't worth their time.
Pre-talk alignment
I do a call before every engagement to understand the audience, the room, and what success looks like for the organizer.
Available in German and English
I present in both languages depending on the audience.
