I intimately know the joys and challenges of being a leader from my experience. After more than 25 years in leadership positions, I developed the Phoenix Principle to help people successfully tackle the most common "career killers" – all in the interest of those they lead. In my latest work, "The Hero's Journey of a Leader - How to Become the Best Version of Yourself as a Leader," I build on the Phoenix Principle, offering more in-depth insights into the world of leadership. This book is a comprehensive resource for anyone looking to enhance their leadership skills by combining practical experience with well-founded knowledge. It is aimed at a wide range of leaders. In "The Hero's Journey of a Leader," I demonstrate how through self-reflection, targeted action, and the development of leadership competencies and virtues, one can advance their career and become an inspiring role model for their team.
After establishing and leading two consulting firms, I had a successful tenure as a CIO in Switzerland. In 2016, I was recognized as the "Swiss CIO of the Year." I now share my extensive expertise and experience with C-level executives and as a sparring partner for leaders in my books. Today, I work as a coach for the sustainable development of leadership personalities, teams, and organizations. My goal is to help successful individuals achieve positive and lasting behavioral changes; for themselves, their employees, and their teams.
