Eye-Level Sparring for the Next Decision.

From founding through scaling to a successful exit to STRABAG/Züblin. I bring this entrepreneurial experience directly into your strategic decisions today – through sparring at eye level, not traditional consulting.

“As an advisory board member, I deliberately operate outside the rigid framework of traditional BAFA energy consulting. My focus is on the most economical overall solution for your company (Efficiency First), not on maximizing subsidies.”

Sparring for the Decisions That Matter

I support leadership teams and decision-makers with questions about transformation, future-readiness and entrepreneurial development - not from theory, but from my own experience.

Strategic Realignment

When markets change, clear decisions are needed - not slide decks. I support you in realigning your company: business model, organization, investments.

Implementing Transformation

Energy, digitalization, infrastructure - the levers for future-readiness. I translate strategy into concrete implementation steps with measurable results.

Securing Investments

Every major investment in building services or energy infrastructure deserves a second look. I bring the entrepreneurial perspective: We calculate using the net present value method and evaluate the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) over 20 years – independent of short-term subsidy promises from traditional energy consultants.
