FAQ

Answers to the questions that come up most often before a first conversation.

Who do you work with?

With executive leadership and transformation owners in mid-sized companies and larger corporates, in Switzerland, Germany and Austria as well as internationally. What matters is the situation, not the industry: a merger or acquisition, growth that has outpaced your own structure, or a strategy that isn't landing in execution.

Do you come yourself, or do you send someone?

I come myself and carry the responsibility from the first conversation to the handover. Where a project needs further expertise, I bring in selected specialists from my own network, people I have already worked with.

How does a mandate proceed?

I analyse the starting situation, we develop the target structure together with your teams, I support the staffing, and I hand over only once the structure holds without me.

How long does it take?

A genuine transformation process starts at three months. The exact duration depends on the size of the organisation and the scope of change. For leadership architecture work, it's typically three to six months, part-time.

Do you work on-site or remotely?

Both are possible, depending on the mandate and what's needed.

How is this billed?

By day or hourly rate, as a time-bound mandate or ongoing support alongside the line organisation. We agree the exact scope in a proposal after an initial conversation.

Do you also offer coaching?

Yes, as executive coaching for leaders: one-to-one, as sparring through transitions, or for leadership teams. Systemic, confidential, and grounded in my own experience of leading. More on the Executive Coaching page.

How do we get started?

With a 15-minute introductory call, by video or phone. This is followed by a 60-minute deep-dive on the starting situation, then a proposal.

A conversation shows whether it's a fit.

Confidential and non-binding. In 15 minutes you describe the situation, and I'll tell you honestly whether and how I'm the right person for it.
