Thinking strategy and technology together is rare. Executing both operationally is rarer still.
My background combines three worlds that normally remain separate — international consulting, operational leadership, and applied research.
I began my career in international strategy consulting at McKinsey — with a broad focus on strategy, organizational development, and business model development. That analytical foundation has stayed with me.
I then moved into operational responsibility and learned how strategy actually lands in the reality of an organization. As COO at gridX, I co-developed the business model of an energy sector company, scaled the organization, and experienced firsthand what it means when technology must not only be conceived but built and embedded.
At OWT, a Swisscom subsidiary, I subsequently developed digital strategies, led digitalization projects, and implemented a Digital Factory as interim lead — experiencing where organizational transformation typically succeeds and where it fails.
As Head of CEO Office at Medgate, the operator of the largest medical telemedicine centre in Europe, I worked directly with the founders and shareholders with a focus on strategic business development, digital strategy, and M&A — directly involved in the core strategic decisions of a company in transformation.
Today I bring these experiences together as a Professor of Information Systems with applied research — and carry both into my consulting engagements.

Academic Focus
As a Professor of Information Systems, I research and teach on questions that also occupy my consulting work: How do digital technologies change decision-making processes in organizations? How do people interact with AI systems — and under what conditions does this lead to better decisions?
The combination of academic rigor and operational experience is no accident — it is the foundation of my work. I separate what is technologically substantial from what is not. And I translate research insights into strategically relevant implications for organizations.
