“Is our digital transformation really moving the business?”
An honest, independent view of where you stand, what to stop, and which decisions to take next – without technical jargon or internal politics.
Independent advisor to C-level, investors & boards
Technology that delivers value.
I step in where technology decides between success and failure: stalled large-scale projects, acquisitions and carve-outs, and wherever IT costs a lot but achieves too little.
- For supervisory boards
- An independent view of whether major technology investments are on track – before a risk turns into a loss.
- For investors
- Clarity on the target company's IT before you buy – and a plan for how it creates value instead of cost after closing.
Who I work with
One advisor. Five very different questions.
Every leadership role looks at IT from a different angle. I answer the question you are actually asking.
“Why does IT cost this much – and what do we get for it?”
Transparency on spend, duplicate systems and unused licences. A leaner IT with clear accountability for results.
“Why don't our systems, teams and processes work together?”
Stable ERP and MES rollouts, less friction between business and IT, and operations that run on systems instead of workarounds.
“Are our major technology investments really on track?”
An independent assessment of progress, risks and budget of large digital programmes – before a risk turns into a loss.
“What is inside the target's IT – and what will it cost after the deal?”
IT assessment before the acquisition, a clear plan for integration or carve-out, and an IT that creates value instead of cost after closing.
Where I help
Concrete. Measurable. Felt in the business.
All services in detail- Rescue stalled large-scale projectsBring ERP, MES or platform rollouts that have blown budget and schedule back on track.
- IT assessment before an acquisitionIdentify risks, legacy issues and hidden costs in the target's system landscape before the contract is signed.
- Post-merger integration (PMI)Turn two IT landscapes into one – quickly, without putting day-to-day operations at risk.
- Carve-outGive divested units their own systems, data and contracts – operational from day one.
- Reduce IT costsFind and remove duplicate systems, unused licences and structures that add no value.
- Business value through digitalisationMeasure digitalisation by revenue, margin and efficiency – not by the number of projects.
- Remove frictionSet up systems, teams and processes so they work with each other, not against each other.
How we work together
Clarity first. Then decisions. Then delivery.
- 1Diagnose
A short, focused assessment: what is really happening, where the money goes, and what is blocking progress.
- 2Decide
A clear recommendation with options, trade-offs and consequences – prepared for the executive or board table.
- 3Deliver
Hands-on support until the result is visible: stabilized projects, integrated systems, lower costs.

You need someone who has been there. Alongside my full-time leadership role, I take on a small number of advisory mandates that are genuinely interesting. Tell me about your situation – if the topic is a fit and time allows, I will get back to you personally.
