About me 

My experience comes from leading and building teams for over a decade now, all within the Tech, IT and SaaS market and in different forms of companies:

• SMBs (Graphax)

• Startups and Silicon Valley unicorns (Evernote, Coople)

• Corporations (Microsoft, Swisscom)

Everyone has a purpose or quest. Mine is this: We get used to shitty experiences. I want us to make them better.
We get used to it being hard to get around the city. We get used to repressive career ladders and jobs. We get used to dysfunctional teams and non-agile leadership. We get used to unethical products and bad service. We get used to new things without purpose. We get used to status quo.It takes new perspectives, ideas and teamwork to keep pushing. Creating such perspectives is the quest I’m following.

I do this as a COO, People Leader, Teambuilder, customer experience advocate, Digital Ethicist, Lecturer and father.


Where my time is spent….

• At Graphax I'm the COO (Chief Operating Officer) with a wonderful team of customer experience champions, Business Consultants and Technical Experts and Field technicians. Delighting our customers on the possibilities of the print industry and Information Management Solutions. This while going through a digital and cultural transformation within our own company .

• I'm a University lecturer and Speaker for "Self-Management and Leadership”, "NewWork and Transformation", "Digital Ethics" and “Storytelling” at various Universities in Switzerland.
  (ZHAW, HWZ, UX Schweiz and others)

• In 2017, I Co-founded the fashion brand Pin Friends, creating small pieces of art, allowing people to express themselves. We introduce customers to exclusive collaborations with some of the most relevant independent artists and creatives. 

• I run my own Digital Magazine on work 4.0, culture, trends and how to stay productive, over at Volt & Gestalt. The Newsletter got featured by Mailchimp as “Out of the Ordinary”.

• Family! Partner in crime with her we’re managing our lives and the ones of our three boys. I live and work around Zürich, spending my time with my family, large amounts of Flat Whites, reading books (currently this and this and this), listening to my amateuresque vinyl collection, preferably from weird punk bands (but this, this or this does it too), and organizing pen and paper game-nights or dueling my kids in a game of supersmash brothers (if you know, you know).
