Over the past twenty years of my professional career in corporate governance, I have had the privilege of working closely with many fascinating individuals. The intensive and confidential discussions with board and supervisory board members have shown me just how crucial sound corporate governance is for a company's sustainable success. This requires exceptional individuals with a broad range of professional and personal qualities. Finding precisely these leaders for the unique situations of our clients is a true passion of mine. Together with the HEADSAHEAD team, I can draw on my extensive experience and broad network to achieve this.

During my many years working for the Management Board and the Supervisory Board of Deutsche Bank, I dealt with the numerous facets of corporate governance. Among other things, I managed the office of the Chairman of the Supervisory Board and further developed the bank's advisory boards and European Advisory Board within the Corporate Office. This ultimately led to the establishment and management of the office for the entire Supervisory Board, enabling the board to receive professional advice and support. I was consistently impressed by the diverse backgrounds and varied professional experiences of the Supervisory Board members. Other key areas of my work included capital market transactions and corporate restructuring.

I also contribute this experience and interdisciplinary knowledge in various roles. In addition to holding an honorary professorship in Corporate Governance at Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, I am a member of several committees dealing with good corporate governance. I am co-editor of the handbook for supervisory board members, the BOARD – a professional journal for supervisory board members – and author of numerous articles on improving corporate governance.

I am married, have a daughter who is studying at university, and have diverse interests, including capital markets, economics, and politics. My passion is road cycling, not only in the beautiful countryside around Frankfurt, but also when traveling.
