How I work

  • Start from the real situation, not the ideal one
  • Make trade-offs explicit
  • Bring structure to ambiguity
  • Turn strategy into usable decisions, systems, and next steps
  • Keep the work proportionate to context, scope, and pressure

“Skills and energy to → convince, align and execute on an ambitious corporate identity.”

— Romain Thibault, Strategy Lead Data & Analytics, former colleague @ ImmoScout24

Formats

Not sure which format fits? Start with your situation.

1:1 Work / Strategy Sparring →
For individual leaders navigating messy situations, stakeholder pressure, difficult decisions, or development goals.
You leave with clearer direction, sharper options, and next steps.
Strategy Sprint / Diagnostic →
For diagnosis: when something is off and you need to see where it breaks, what matters most, and what to change.
You leave with diagnosis, priorities, decision points, and a workable setup.
Ongoing Strategic Direction →
For continuity: when direction is clear but needs steady course-correction over weeks or months.
You leave with ongoing decisions, course-corrections, and fewer false starts.
Alignment Workshop →
For team alignment: when multiple people need shared direction, trade-offs, and decision owners in the room.
You leave with aligned direction, clearer ownership, and next steps.
Fractional Lead →
For embedded leadership: when you need someone to set direction, build systems, and create decision rhythm over time.
You leave with systems that hold under pressure and a team that can run with them.

Methods & Certificates

From a single sparring session to fractional leadership → start with your situation.
