I build, advise and communicate | Founder, strategist & board member | 14 years as entrepreneur, 20+ in business
Über mich
I'm co-founder of v-oice.com and lead the company. As a sparring partner and communications advisor, I also work selectively with founders and leaders navigating phases of growth, change and transformation. Alongside that, I serve on several boards. My background spans journalism, strategic communication, positioning and leadership. Before founding my first company, I held leadership roles in communications, worked as a radio journalist, and spent over 25 years as a moderator and panel host. Along the way, I've launched and co-developed several other business ideas, not all of them succeeded, but each one sharpened my instincts as an entrepreneur. I know from experience how demanding build-up phases, decision-making and leadership can be. Today I bring that experience together to help founders and leaders gain clarity, position themselves effectively and shape their next steps with intention.

Meine Stärken
I combine strategic and entrepreneurial thinking with empathy and a clear eye for what matters. I can grasp complex situations quickly, structure them, and translate them into clear options for action. My strength lies in giving you orientation during challenging phases, strengthening you in your role, and encouraging you to communicate effectively and make decisions with confidence. I work pragmatically, with appreciation, positivity, and on equal footing.
Das nimmst du mit
You gain clarity, structure and concrete next steps. You'll learn to look at your situation from a new perspective, set priorities and sharpen your communication with intention. Conversations often lead to concrete wording, decision-making frameworks or strategies you can put into practice right away. At the same time, you'll build more trust in your own decisions and in your role as a founder, decision-maker, or simply as a person.
Meine Themen
Founding and building companies including pivoting, strategic communication (leadership, change, crisis and internal communication), positioning, moderation and public appearances, leading teams both locally and remotely, growth as a founder, and the role of board member and advisor.
Was dich erwartet
You can expect a structured, focused and at the same time personal conversation. We'll work on your specific question and get to the heart of it quickly.

The goal is for you to leave the conversation with concrete next steps, more confidence and a clear direction.
